Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Iran is pursuing intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons that could threaten American cities.

Axar.az reports that, speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu argued that the United States, rather than Israel, was the Iranian regime’s ultimate target.

"This is a regime that chants death to Israel, death to America. You are the real target. And I think we are well on our way to achieving this," Netanyahu said.

“Iran would be a nuclear power as we've never seen in the entire world, because they don't have this careful calculus of cause and benefit. Because they are so fanatic. So you can't win them over; you can't buy them out,” he added.
