" Is alert now one of the headlines of the morning happen at 8:30 eastern time President Obama. Saying that Iran is hiding a nuclear program from the world and has violated international inspectors on three occasions. This is file videotape for the controversial plan that tons in Iran and now the international atomic energy agency that's nuclear watchdog for the UN. Saying he had been notified about another uranium enrichment site in Iran. One reportedly capable of housing the tools to build a nuclear bomb. Some experts say Israel could be ready for a tactical air strike. Back with -- today at a Tel Aviv the former Israeli ambassador of the UN. Dan -- what did you make of the announcement would President Obama. The leader from Britain and the leader from France and for the microphone today with a strong statement against Enron mr. ambassador."
" Well good morning bill it's good to be -- IA I was very impressed by. This say gallery would be -- led by President Obama president Sarkozy and prime minister golden brown making very very tough statements about the wrong. But these leaders have -- the toll. Now they have to walk the walk and a -- question is will date and another question is that the Iran really believe they will. Because as we've just seen this morning Iran has been thwarting the world -- the world for years. With talks and what lies. And once the world finds out. There are these warnings but the question is what will happen after that and and I believe that Iran has to on the Stan. And those would -- dozen first and foremost President Obama has to make it very clear to them. The poppies over. That the world will not stand anymore four Iran forty in the world. Nine to the world the world has gone without -- North Korea and woken up with a nuclear -- received as a huge difference. Between North Korea and Iran North Korea that they nuclear weapons out of desperation. Iran is seeking them out of past generation. And it's never never should be allowed to achieve them into it."
" have led to things on this first of all what do you expect from the United States France Britain and Germany."
" I expect that next Tuesday October 1 when they fit together all -- that the Iranians. They say to them. The game is over. Mobilize. No more playing full time. We will not allow you to -- the nuclear weapons either you come clean. All we impose very very tough sanctions and you we go back the next day two of the Security Council. And impose sanctions and of those sanctions don't work and don't work quickly. Every other option is on the table including a military option because the world we live in. Is oddly enough horrible and often dangerous enough without a nuclear Iran which would make it just. Impossible. To live it we talked about this two days ago mr. ambassador. Is Israel ready to strike is Israel closer to a strike after this announcement today. I think Israel is always close to a strike because Israel can not to Fuld. To be asleep it cannot afford to just take things as the hour. Our army or air force. Are dealing with this problem professionally. With the greatest expertise and the -- sophistication available. And as I told you two days ago bill. I mean taking works from -- president. Yes we -- And if absolutely necessary and -- or other options like most of it yes we will. Israel cannot live with a nuclear Iran the world that allowed to -- prime minister essential eloquently. At this at this general assembly of the UN only yesterday. Cannot live with a nuclear Iran. It's the international community that must take the lead but if nobody else does we cannot afford to let this happen and we won't theoretically speaking."
" Now of course if Israel appears out a strike on Iran. Is Israel ready for the fallout. Has bullet comes back from Lebanon and Hamas fires up and Gaza Strip are you ready for that."
" Unfortunately a -- living -- as -- we always ready we never know the next day will bring we want peace -- will -- sweet -- very very far reaching. Confessions then steps towards peace but we just so wrong -- by terror organizations. While nothing about the bloody tentacles and the long arms of those twisted minds and the Iraq. And I'm sure that if a military strike against Iran is actually carry though it would not be easy it would not be simple. It is not Iraq in 1981. Where we took out the the nuclear reactor in -- Iraq. The whole world condemned us. And then very soon after that the pulled it off with just imagine if Saddam Hussein had you can capability you run as a totally different story. These sites are very spread adult follow that mind very densely populated area. We know how difficult it is we know at this complex. We know it will pay. Very great sophistication. To do it and may have very very grave consequences. But the consequence of living. With that world in which Iran has in nuclear weapon. Led by a mad lunatic ranting president who denies the -- what preparing the next one. Is it far more dangerous for position and we must not in the world must not. Allow this to happen and therefore I'm glad about that. Meeting and that statement coming out of Pittsburgh today. And I hope it was a -- very involved and very clear also went to Iraq again I have to rest I hope that from Arctic air force will succeed but if not. Or the other options must be on the table that --"
" Then government thank you for your time until of these you mentioned the state October 1 that's when the US. White House officials with sit down. Along with several of the countries with the -- leaders no doubt they would talk about this very issue. Now we wait to see how Iran reacts. And ninety minutes now."
