             Netanyahu to Stress Iran Nuclear Concerns in UN Speech

   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to press his
   concerns about Iran`s nuclear program in his Tuesday address to the
   United Nations General Assembly.
   Mr. Netanyahu said Monday, in a meeting with U.S. President Barack
   Obama, that Iran should face tougher sanctions if it continues to
   advance its nuclear work while negotiating with the West.
   The Israeli leader also stressed that Iran must give up any military
   aspect of its nuclear program -- which Iran has denied it is pursuing.
   Mr. Obama said Iran must prove its sincerity through actions before
   getting any relief from the sanctions imposed after it defied orders to
   stop enriching uranium. He said world powers will negotiate with Iran
   in a "clear-eyed" manner and will consult Israel closely.
   On Friday, Mr. Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani conducted the
   highest-level contact between the countries in more than three decades.
   Their telephone call fueled hopes for a resolution of Iran`s decade-old
   nuclear standoff with the West.
   Iran has long insisted its nuclear program is peaceful. The U.S. and
   many of its allies disagree and have helped impose several rounds of
   sanctions that have battered Iran`s economy.
   Mr. Netanyahu is deeply concerned about eased tensions between Iran and
   the international community, saying Tehran is using talks to try to
   lessen the crippling sanctions and to buy more time to build a nuclear
   weapon.
