Israel's Ambassador to Ghana, Roey Gilad, has described Iran's nuclear threat as "real and urgent." He warned that Tehran now has enough enriched uranium for at least nine nuclear bombs and has already launched hundreds of missiles into Israeli territory.

Speaking Monday night on PM Express with Evans Mensah, he offered a blunt justification for Israel's ongoing strikes on Iran, insisting the world must understand the danger posed by a regime that both wants and is able to "erase" Israel. "The answer is quite simple," he said when asked why Israel is launching missiles into Iran. "Whenever your enemy declares clearly his wish to get rid of you, to annihilate you, to destroy you, to erase you from the face of the earth, and at the same time, is developing the ability to do so - this is when we become worried." Ambassador Gilad stressed that this is not just ideology. "The Iranians have reached uranium enrichment to a level of 60%.

That's enough for nine nuclear bombs," he said. "And they are developing between 1,000 and 2,000 ballistic missiles.

They have already launched 200 against Israel.
