Olmert: Israel, world, cannot allow nuclear Iran

Jerusalem - Iran was still trying to acquire nuclear weapons and Israel and the world must make an effort to prevent it from doing so, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday night. 'Israel cannot permit Iran to become nuclear, and the free world must also not accept this. We must do what we can to prevent this,' he told a conference in Jerusalem of Jewish leaders from the United States and Canada. Olmert did not specify what steps needed to be taken. Israel regards Iran as its main existential threat, given Tehran's nuclear ambitions, and repeated statements by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Iranian leaders that the Jewish state should be erased off the map.
