'UK to lead fight against nuclear Iran' (operation Brimstone)

Tough talk on Iran topped the program when Gordon Brown on Monday became the first British prime minister to address the Knesset since Israel was founded 60 years ago.

British PM: No nation has achieved so much in such a short period of time

"To those who question Israel's very right to exist, and threaten the lives of its citizens through terror we say: The people of Israel have a right to live here, to live freely and to live in security," he said. "And to those who believe that threatening statements fall upon indifferent ears, we say with one voice: It is totally abhorrent for the president of Iran to call for Israel to be wiped from the map of the world.

"Our country will continue to lead, with the United States and our European partners, in our determination to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapons program."

"Iran has a clear choice to make: suspend its nuclear weapons program and accept our offer of negotiations or face growing isolation and the collective response, not just of one nation, but of all nations aground the world," Brown added, emphasizing that the UK would be ready and willing to impose further sanctions against Teheran should the need arise.

1. Sounds like maybe a blockade? I hope not, because that will be seen
as an act of war.
