Benjamin Netanyahu, the former and possibly future prime minister of Israel, said the “civilized community of nations” must not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

"This is not merely a local problem, this is a global problem. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons everything we have been talking about will pale in comparison," Netanyahu said on Wednesday. ...
...Netanyahu, head of the Likud opposition party, warned that a nuclear-armed Iran will put the oil reserves of the Persian Gulf under their control and could easily bring down governments or fold them into Iran's realm. ...

..."I said a year and a half ago that the year is 1938 and Iran is Germany and it's racing to acquire nuclear weapons. If that's the case, were now 1939. There is about two years left before Iran becomes a nuclear power.

Netanyahu said "the first thing we must do – and by we, I mean the civilized community of nations – [is] to do everything in our power to prevent the arming of Iran with nuclear weapons.”...

...Iran announced on April 8 that it had begun installing 6,000 new centrifuges at its uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. ...

Centrifuges can enrich uranium to a low level to produce nuclear fuel — or a high level for use in weapons.
