Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling on world powers to impose "snapback sanctions" on Iran after it crossed the uranium threshold laid out in the faltering 2015 nuclear deal.
Netanyahu said Sunday that enriching uranium to such levels has only one purpose to create atomic bombs.
He says Western leaders had vowed to impose sanction the moment the Islamic Republic crossed that threshold.
The Israeli leader has been one of the harshest critics of the nuclear deal. Israel considers Iran to be its most dangerous enemy because of its nuclear program and threats to destroy Israel.
Iran made its move amid heightened tensions and a year after President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the deal.
