Israel considers attack on Iran as a possible option to stop Tehran from ceasing nuclear weapons, Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said.  

“Yes, it is an option. We will not allow Iran to produce or obtain nuclear weapons. If it were the last possible way to stop this, we would act militarily," Katz told Italy's Corriere della Sera

He added that they would not allow Iran get nuclear weapons, and explained that a military response is possible when there are no other options to influence Iran, dpa reported.

“As long as the Iranians delude themselves into thinking they have Europe's backing, it will be more difficult for them to back down,” he added.
