Netanyahu says not surprised by Iran's enrichment intentions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel was not surprised by Iran's declared intention to increase uranium enrichment capacity and reaffirmed a vow to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons.

"Two days ago, Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's leader, declared that his intention is to destroy the State of Israel. Yesterday, he said how he would do this, by unlimited enrichment in order to produce an arsenal of nuclear bombs. We are not surprised, we will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons," Netanyahu said in a video statement from Paris, his second stop on a European visit.
