Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement Monday came as European leaders are looking to deescalate tension in the Persian Gulf region. They’re calling on Iran to stick to the 2015 nuclear deal despite the pullout by the United States and its re-imposition of harsh economic sanctions.

Iran denies those accusations, insisting its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes.
Netanyahu says Israel will do “whatever it takes” to keep Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Israel is widely believed to have a nuclear arsenal, which it neither confirms nor denies.
