Israel had “no other choice” but to attack Iran because it was proceeding “dramatically” towards a nuclear bomb, Israeli President Isaac Herzog has claimed.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky News’ Yalda Hakim<\/strong>, he said Iran was “rushing” to the bomb “under disguise”.<\/p>\n

He also suggested the Israeli war cabinet was discussing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, amid reports that President Donald Trump<\/strong> vetoed a plan to kill him.<\/p>\n

It comes as Israel<\/strong> and Iran<\/strong> continue to fire missiles at each other after Israel launched an unprecedented strike on Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities.<\/p>\n

Tehran has long denied that its nuclear program has been attempting to obtain a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

Mr Herzog was asked why Israel attacked Iran when it did.<\/p>\n

“When you take such decisions of historic magnitude and proportions, you have to analyse all facets and all facts,” he replied.<\/p>\n

“The truth of the matter is there was no other choice.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been very crystal clear with regards to a nuclear capability of our enemies – it has to be removed at once.”<\/p>\n

Mr Herzog added: “We have to remove the Iranian nuclear program because we see the negotiating process as being futile because they are lying whilst talking to us.<\/p>\n

“They are lying whilst talking to the United States and other allies.”<\/p>\n

He was questioned whether the strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure could provoke a response that causes a mass casualty event in Israel.<\/p>\n

“(We are) very much aware of the risks of this war,” he replied. “Every night there are missile attacks, heavy missile attacks on Israel.<\/p>\n

“We have our air defence systems, which are excellent.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, we have casualties. Brothers and sisters of ours from toddlers all the way up to the age of 94.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “No, we don’t accept it at all… That’s why we are fighting also, to eliminate their capability of firing at us.”<\/p>\n
