"Israel cannot curb the Iranian nuclear threat on its own, Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in a satellite speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Sunday.

Countering Iran cannot be done alone, Olmert told those in attendance as he asked for the international community's help in facing the Iranian threat. The acting prime minister expressed his hope that the world, led by the United States, will impose sanctions on Iran, which he characterized as a threat to the modern world.

Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations on Sunday spoke at the AIPAC conference about the urgent need to confront Iran's "clear and unrelenting drive" for a nuclear weapons program.

John Bolton, speaking before a crowd of 4,500 gathered at the Washington conference, said that a failure by the U.N. Security Council to address Iran would "do lasting damage to the credibility of the council."

"The longer we wait to confront the threat Iran poses," Bolton said, "The harder and more intractable it will become to solve."
