U.S. Ambassador Compares Iran Threat to 9/11

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, on Wednesday compared the threat from Iran’s nuclear programs to the September 11 terror attacks on the United States.

"Just like September 11, only with nuclear weapons this time, that’s the threat. I think that is the threat," Bolton told ABC News’ Nightline program.

"I think it’s just facing reality. It’s not a happy reality, but it’s reality and if you don’t deal with it, it will become even more unpleasant.
"

Of course,
Russia and China are resisting proposals from Britain, France and the United States for a council statement that would express "serious concern" about Iran’s nuclear program and asks it to comply with demands from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
