Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “forcefully argued against a nuclear deal with Iran, telling a joint meeting of Congress Tuesday that such an agreement would have the opposite effect of what the international community intends because it would effectively supply Iran with the means to produce a nuclear weapon,” the Washington Post reports.
“Netanyahu’s speech generated a swirl of controversy before it was even delivered and laid bare fissures between the prime minister and the Obama administration.”
Politico: “Netanyahu did not reveal new details of the emerging deal, which would lift some sanctions on Iran in return for curbs on its nuclear ambitions. But the prime minister said provisions already made public would not only not end Iran’s programs, it would guarantee that it retains a nuclear weapons capability.”
