ABOARD THE INS EILAT — Israel’s  prime minister has warned about the dangers of a nuclear Iran after touring an submarine believed capable of firing nuclear-tipped missiles.

Benjamin Netanyahu also visited a missile ship that led the seizure earlier this month of a ship Israel says was loaded with Iranian weapons bound for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Hezbollah denied the allegation.

Netanyahu told sailors aboard the ship INS Eilat “the threat that Iran poses is very grave for the state of Israel, for peace in the Middle East and the whole world.” He said Israel would undoubtedly be the “first target, but not the last” in case of an Iranian attack.

Iran denies its nuclear program is aimed at building weapons.
