Netanyahu: Israel won't be spared even if U.S. attacks Iran

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in closed talks that a U.S. strike on Iran will not necessarily minimize the chances of a missile attack on Israel, Yediot Ahronot reported Sunday.

"I would prefer that the U.S. attack Iran, but the likelihood of that is small," he said. "In any case - even if the U.S. attacks, missiles will be fired at Israel."

"Even if missiles fall, it's still preferable to an atom bomb over our heads. If Iran obtains an atom bomb it'll be over Israel's head, not anyone else's." Netanyahu estimated that Iran is a few months away from becoming nuclear.
