Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the United States was "perfectly capable of knocking out Iran's peaceful enrichment program."
Speaking before the board of the American Jewish Committee, Netanyahu reiterated, "This is a specific task that the US is able to do perfectly, and we are able to cause significant damage," adding that 2013 was the "year of decision".

Netanyahu told the AJC delegation that Western economic sanctions against Iran, which were "a result of "Israeli" pressure on the international community," would "only be effective if the Iranians have a credible threat over their heads," "Israeli" Maariv daily reported.

According to Maariv, Netanyahu stressed that only US military action could completely halt Iran's peaceful nuclear program.

Moreover, he hinted that any US military activity ought to be carried out before Tehran finishes the process of enriching uranium to 20 per cent purity.
However, Tehran denies claims of enriching Uranium for military purposes and insists that its civilian nuclear program is for peaceful power generation and medical purposes only.
