Israel will not attack Iran to destroy its nuclear program, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Wednesday, a day after meeting President Bush in Texas.
Sharon told CNN he did not see "unilateral action' as an option. He said Israel did not need to take a leading role in attempts to deny nuclear weapons to Iran and called again for an international coalition to deal with the issue.
Sharon said Iran was years away from possessing a nuclear weapon but only months away from overcoming "technical problems' in building one.
"Once they will solve it, that will be the point of no return,' he said.
