Netanyahu says he attacked Iran to prevent 'nuclear holocaust'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News on Sunday that he launched airstrikes against Iran to prevent "a nuclear holocaust," claiming his government had secret information that Iran was months away from developing an initial nuclear weapon.

"We had to act," Netanyahu told Fox's Bret Baier on Sunday. " It was the 12th hour and we acted. To save ourselves, but also ... to protect the world from this inciting regime."

"The information that we received and that we shared with the United States was absolutely clear: That they were working on a secret plan to weaponize uranium, they were moving very quickly, they would achieve a test device and perhaps an initial device within months, and certainly less than a year, " he said, CNN writes . 

"This is something we could not accept," he continued. "We will not have a second Holocaust, a nuclear Holocaust. We had one in the last century - the Jewish state will not allow the Holocaust to be committed against the Jewish people. It will not happen."

Netanyahu also claimed that Israel saw enough enriched uranium for nine bombs. “ All they had to do was weaponize them. We stopped that.”

Asked if regime change was among his objectives in Iran, Netanyahu said: " Of course that could be the outcome, because the Iranian regime is very weak."

"They shoot women, they shoot students. They just suck the oxygen out of these brave and talented people, the Iranian people."

"The decision to act, to rise up this time, is the decision of the Iranian people."
