Netanyahu: Increase Pressure on Iran

 Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Tuesday evening with a delegation of 36 American congressmen headed by Congressman Steny Hoyer.

During the meeting Netanyahu claimed that though Iran's president said pressure wouldn't help, in the last two decades pressure was the only thing that helped.

Netanyahu urged increasing pressure on Iran relating to its nuclear program and warned that if the pressure will drop, nothing would deter Iran from achieving its nuclear goals.

Addressing Iranian President Sheikh Hassan Rohani's speech regarding the nuclear issue, Netanyahu claimed in a Tuesday statement that pressure on Iran had, in fact, been effective.

"Iran's president said that pressure won't work. Not true! The only thing that has worked in the last two decades is pressure," the "Israeli" prime minister stressed.

"And the only thing that will work now is increased pressure. I have said that before and I'll say it again, because that's important to understand. You relent on the pressure, they will go all the way. You should sustain the pressure".

Earlier Tuesday, Rohani said "Israel" "pursues the interests of a foreign country and receives most of its orders from the same country... even US interests are not being considered".
