Israel is ready to do “whatever it takes” to quash Tehran’s efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi told journalists after a summit on regional stability in Paphos, Cyprus.
The warning comes as Iran announced it had met its 60% uranium enrichment goal. The Islamic Republic notified the International Atomic Energy Agency about its intention to enrich uranium at 60% on Tuesday.
The development comes as Iran reported an incident at its Natanz nuclear facility that affected the plant’s electricity grid.
