London: British Prime
Minister David Cameron has admitted that military action in Iran
cannot be ruled out.
Cameron said if a fresh round of sanctions fails to halt the rogue
state's nuclear programme, then "nothing is off the table", Daily
Express reported Tuesday.
The British prime minister's intervention came Monday night as
European Union foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg agreed a
further tightening of existing financial, trade and energy
sanctions.
Cameron said: "We need the courage to give these sanctions time to
work. But let me also say this, in the long term, if Iran makes
the wrong choice, nothing is off the table.
"A nuclear-armed Iran is a threat to Israel, and a threat to the
world. This country will work unwaveringly to prevent that from
happening."
Speaking at the United Jewish Israel Appeal in London, Cameron
also cautioned Israel against launching military action against
Iran.
But Cameron said he would not tolerate a "nuclear-armed Iran".
