RE: IRAN speaks - Oil rockets up $3 in last few miBy Mark Drajem and Janine Zacharia
Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Iran is on a path toward a ``major breakthrough'' in its nuclear program that is ``unacceptable,'' Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz told a Washington audience today.
``It is an existential threat,'' Mofaz said at a forum on Iran at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. ``We have to make sure we are prepared for every option.''
Mofaz, a former Israeli army chief of staff,
is a potential future leader of Israel.
``We don't want war, we want peace,'' Mofaz said.
``But we will not let the second Holocaust take place.''
