On September 27, 2012, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin (Bibi) Netanyahu addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations. He spoke about the danger Iran poses to the world, and Radical Islam. Netanyahu presented the danger radical Islam, and Iran pose to the world. Netanyahu clearly presented the Jewish claim to the land of Israel. Netanyahu asked for a redline before Iran completes Stage 2 of the uranium enrichment process and made the case to the world on a chart with a drawing of a bomb on it that the entire Western world faces danger if Iran succeeds.

"By citing a time frame in an address to the UN General Assembly, Netanyahu - who has clashed with President Barack Obama over the urgency of military action against Iran - appeared to suggest no Israeli attack was imminent before the November 6 US presidential election. Holding up a cartoon-like drawing of a bomb with a fuse, Netanyahu literally drew a red line just below a label reading "final stage" to a bomb, in which Iran was 90 percent along the path of having sufficient weapons-grade material. Experts put that at the point that Iran has amassed enough uranium, purified to a level of 20 percent, that could quickly be enriched further and be used to produce an atomic bomb. Netanyahu told the United Nations he believes that faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down in a crisis that has sent jitters across the region and in financial markets...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. *Read more here from Jeffrey Heller / Reuters: www.reuters.com
