Israel's ambassador to the U.S. called for "immediate and serious action" Friday after a United Nations report showed Iran has enough uranium to build a nuclear bomb. 

The White House also said the international community must work together to address Iran's uranium enrichment activities, calling the rogue nation's nuclear capabilities an "urgent problem." 

Israeli Ambassador Sallai Meridor, in an interview with FOXNews.com, said the report only emphasizes the threat Iran poses to the rest of the world. "It's an extremely worrisome report. ... It emphasizes that with every day passing, Iran is getting closer to a nuclear military capacity," he said. "The world must take immediate and serious action in order to prevent this nightmare from happening." 

"The only option that is not on the table is to allow Iran to get military nuclear (capabilities)," Meridor said. He said such a scenario would release a "nuclear genie" that would "endanger every society in the world." "We are at a very, very serious and dangerous juncture to world peace," he told FOXNews.com. 

Gibbs called Iran an "urgent problem that has to be addressed." He says "we can't delay addressing it." 

"We are always optimistic. We've been working on the peace process for a number of years," he said. "I think this shows determination by the United States to continue to work for a two-state solution in the Middle East and to help bring stability to the region."
