In reaction to Rouhani’s remarks Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that world pressure kept Iran from gaining nuclear weapons in the past, and is preventing it from crossing the nuclear threshold now.

“Iran’s president said that pressure won’t work. Not true,” Netanyahu said during a meeting with 36 Democratic US Congressman in his office. “The only thing that has worked in the last two decades is pressure. And the only thing that will work now is increased pressure,” he said.
