Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz threatens that the opportunity for a negotiated solution to Iran's nuclear program has diminished.
"The strategy for now is one of sanctions, of a united front of nations in that context, and the strategy of declaring without any doubt that all options are on the table," Mofaz told public radio.
"I think like others that the option of using military force is the last resort," he said, but "it's clear that the opportunity for a negotiated solution is diminishing."
Earlier this week after a visit by Mofaz to the United States the two countries agreed to form two working committees in an attempt to draw up a joint strategy against Iran.
Washington is engaged in nuclear cooperation with Israel, which unlike Iran is not a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Both allies have been seeking to portray Iran as a threat to the global security although the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear activities.
