Israel reserves the right to take whatever action is needed
to survive in the face of Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Jewish
state's far-right infrastructure minister, Uzi Landau, said.
"We'll take the actions that are necessary for our survival,
we'll do whatever is necessary at that time," he told
AFP late Wednesday, expressing regret that EU nations did
not see the Islamic republic as a major threat.
"It is better not to talk now about the details" of any action, he said, amid concern that Iran is covertly building an atomic bomb as it develops a civil nuclear programme.
"By the actions taken by most European governments you don't see that the gravity of the situation has been understood," said Landau, from the far-right Yisrael Beitenu party.
