TEL AVIV, Israel Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday he s prepared to risk tension with the U.S. if that is what it takes to neutralize Iran s nuclear capabilities.
The embattled premier, whose political future is in question just 11 days out from a bruising war, said Israel s biggest threat remains the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran. He said Israel is prepared to prevent that from happening even if the United States and other nations succeed in reinstating the 2015 Iran nuclear accord.
