Clinton said Israel can’t harm Iran: Wikileaks

  • October 16, 2016


    TEHRAN – Wikileaks has revealed a speech by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2013 on the Iranian nuclear issue during which she said that Israel is “not capable of causing substantial damage” to Iran’s nuclear program.

    In a speech delivered in front of the finance company Goldman Sachs in 2013, Hillary Clinton spoke of Israel's military abilities against the Iranian nuclear program, Jerusalem Online reported.

    During the speech, she said that “the Israelis' estimate is even if we set their program back for just a couple of years, it's worth doing and whatever their reaction might be is absorbable. But they [the Israelis] couldn't do much damage themselves.”

    “The Israelis, as you know, have looked at this very closely for a number of years,” said Clinton.

    The former secretary of state continued, “Our policy is prevention, not containment. What that means is that they have to be prevented from getting a nuclear weapon.”

    The Democratic Party has not yet commented on the leaked documents.
