Ex Israeli PM Ehud Barak to U.S. – Give Iran an Or-Else Ultimatum
The U.S. needs to give Iranian leaders a clear choice: Get rid of your military nuclear program “or else,” former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak urged on Wednesday.
“The Pentagon and the forces of America under the backing and probably directive of the [U.S.] president [could] create an extremely effective means to destroy the Iranian nuclear military program over a fraction of one night,” the former Israeli leader told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in an interview. He described the type of targeted operation that could be undertaken as closer to the killing of Osama bin Laden than the war on Iraq.
