Netanyahu has once again called for a “better deal”insisting that the only way to reach it would be “standing firm and increasing the pressure on Iran.”
Netanyahu warned that if the final deal due to be signed in June, fell in line with the current framework, it would “increase the risks of nuclear proliferation in the region and the risks of a horrific war.”

Successful negotiations and a sealed deal would “legitimize” Iran’s nuclear program, which Netanyahu insists is militarized and designed to increase aggression and bring more terror throughout the Middle East.

At a meeting on Friday, the Israeli security cabinet voiced its opposition to the Iran nuclear deal and Netanyahu is expected to his country today.
Obama called Netanyahu on Thursday evening to discuss the agreement reached with Iran following eight-day talks in Switzerland and convince him that the deal represents significant progress toward cutting off “all of Iran’s pathways to a nuclear weapon.”
