Israel's defence minister said Thursday that the Jewish state and its US ally should be prepared to use \"all means\" to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear ******* capability. \"I believe that it should be in the first priority of each of us to deal with this threat by all means, in all fields,\" Moshe Yaalon said at joint news conference with visiting US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel. The Pentagon chief's visit came as the United States and other major powers pressed talks with Iran on a long-term agreement to allay international concerns about its nuclear ambitions. Israel has strongly opposed the negotiations with its arch-enemy, and has said repeatedly that it is prepared to go it alone if necessary with pre-emptive military action against Iran's nuclear facilities.
