Netanyahu Urges ‘Military Sanctions’ Threat Against Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu urged the international community on Wednesday to threaten Iran with “military sanctions,” saying economic measures are failing to curb Tehran’s nuclear drive.
“I believe it is incumbent upon the international community to intensify the sanctions and clarify that if Iran continues its program, there will be military sanctions,” Netanyahu said.
He did not, in a statement released by the prime minister’s office, specify what military measures he had in mind.
“I don’t think there are any other means that will make Iran heed the international community’s demands,” he said, in his first remarks on the issue after two days of nuclear talks between Tehran and world powers in the Kazakh city of Almaty.
In Almaty, the first negotiations between Iran and six world powers in eight months ended without a breakthrough on Wednesday. They agreed to meet again at expert level in Istanbul next month and resume political talks in Kazakhstan on April 5.
