Iran waging 'psychological warfare' over nuclear drive: Israel

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni urged the international community on Tuesday not to succumb to Iran's "psychological warfare" aimed at weakening efforts to stop its nuclear programme.

"Iran is trying to convince the world that it has crossed the point of no return in order to weaken the international community's efforts to stop Iran," her office quoted her as saying at the inauguration of the newly created Israeli-European Chambre of Commerce.

"We are dealing with psychological warfare," she said.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for the destruction of the Jewish state, said earlier on Tuesday that it was "too late" to stop its nuclear programme.

"We have broken through to a new stage and it is too late to push us back," he said.

Livni said "the entire world must continue to pressure Iran while expanding sanctions against it. The only point of no return is the understanding that the world cannot allow itself a nuclear Iran."

Ahmadinejad's comments were the latest warning from Tehran it has no intention of yielding to UN demands to suspend uranium enrichment activities, despite Western pressure for a third UN sanctions resolution against Tehran.

Israel -- considered the sole, undeclared nuclear power in the Middle East -- accuses Iran of developing a nuclear bomb under the guise of a civil programme.
