Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu plans to tell Vice President Joe Biden during a U.S. visit Sunday that only a military threat could persuade Iran to curb its nuclear program if diplomacy fails, an Israeli political source said.

The source said Netanyahu would tell Biden: "The only way to ensure that Iran will not go nuclear is to create a credible threat of military action against it if it doesn't cease it's race for a nuclear weapon."
