In his latest statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a “wolf in wolf's clothing” and claimed new Iranian President-elect Hassan Rouhani is a “wolf in sheep's clothing. Smile and build a bomb.” He then proposed to the United States that "if sanctions don't work, they have to know that you'll be prepared to take military action — that's the only thing that will get their attention.”
In reaction to the Iranians electing a moderate president, Rouhani, almost all the 46 members of the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs, in a letter addressed to President Barack Obama, called on the White House to intensify pressure on Iran to dismantle its nuclear program. Moreover, a US official revealed that Washington has assured Tel Aviv that despite the victory of a moderate president in the Iranian election, the United States intends to increase sanctions and pressures on Iran.
