An Iran with nuclear weapon would threaten Israel, US: Rice

WASHINGTON: An Iran with a nuclear bomb would threaten Israel and the United States, an advisor to President Barack Obama said on Monday, amid a crisis between Washington and Israel over Tehran's atomic ambitions.

"Given their support for terrorism, the risk for a nuclear arms race in the region and the danger to the entire global nonproliferation regime, an Iran with a nuclear weapon would not just be a threat to Israel, it is also an unacceptable threat to the United States of America," said US National Security Advisor Susan Rice.
