Israel will never let Iran get nuclear weapons

Israel will never allow nuclear weapons in Iran, Israeli Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz said.

"The courageous decision of the Israeli government almost 11 years ago to destroy the nuclear reactor in Syria and the successful operation following it sends a clear message: Israel will never allow nuclear weapons to countries like Iran who threaten its existence," he wrote on Twitter.

Earlier, Israel's military formally admitted carrying out the top-secret raid and released newly declassified material related to the operation, Daily Mail reported.

The admission comes as Israel intensifies its warnings over the presence of its main enemy Iran in neighbouring Syria.
