The biggest donor to the US Republican Party, Sheldon Adelson says America should begin negotiations with Iran only after nuking it.
Adelson made the comments at Yeshiva University in New York, criticizing Washington's recent diplomatic outreach to Tehran. The gambling mogul donated nearly a hundred million dollars to Republicans last year. He's seen as an influential figure in devising US policies in favor of Israel. The 80-year-old is also a powerful figure inside Israel. He owns a Tel Aviv newspaper that frequently magnifies warnings from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran would pose an existential threat to Israel.
