Israel said yesterday that "all possible means" were on the table to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon and it demanded that the international community do more to stop Tehran's proliferation of advanced weapons.

"When we speak of preventing Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, we must keep all the possible means – I repeat, all possible means - on the table," Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said, speaking at an event alongside officials from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.

Yoav said Iran was expanding its advanced weapons proliferation beyond the region despite an ongoing embargo that includes restrictions on missiles and related technologies that lasts until October 2023 and encompasses the export and purchase of advanced military systems.

"Iran is currently holding discussions to sell advanced weapons, including UAVs and PGMs, to no less than 50 different countries," he said.
