Israel’s Netanyahu asks US Jews to oppose Iran nuclear deal

The Obama administration believes the deal, announced last month, would curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions for at least a decade, lower its uranium stockpile and provide more transparency to the United Nations nuclear agency.

So far three congressional democrats have said they will vote against but, even if every republican opposes the deal struck by the P5+1, it would still require 13 senators and 44 in the House to side with them to overturn a potential presidential veto.

“It has to be said honestly, for years, none of us discovered the massive underground facilities Iran was building at Fordow and Natanz”, the country’s underground nuclear sites.

“This is simply not a partisan issue in Israel”, Netanyahu said, “Overwhelmingly, across the political spectrum a huge majority of Israelis oppose this deal”.

On Tuesday afternoon, several major Jewish organizations will be represented at the meeting with the president at the White House. “In absence of that, they just hear “Iran nuclear deal” without any description – that’s not going to lead to a positive connotation”.

The latest nuclear pact Secretary of State John Kerry signed with Iran seems like an episode out of the movie “Groundhog Day”.

Fortenberry says if the answer is “yes” then the agreement should be approved…if concerns remain that it doesn’t, it should be rejected.

President Hassan Rouhani affirmed his confidence in Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers on Sunday, tackling the criticisms of hardliners and highlighting the achievements of his two-year-old presidency. “Oppose this unsafe deal”, Netanyahu told the American public. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been against the deal since the beginning, labeling it a mistake of historic proportion.

“In our deliberations, we need to ensure the negotiations resulted in a comprehensive, long-lasting, and verifiable outcome that also provides for snap-back of sanctions should Iran deviate from its commitments”.

The nuclear deal has not yet been ratified by the Iranian Parliament or the National Security Council and the government hopes the European visits will show its critics what Iran could look like in the post-sanctions era. “That’s a real nightmare”.

“We don’t consider Iran open for business yet, and there’s no new sanctions relief beyond the very limited relief under the joint plan of action that’s been in place since January 2014″, he said.

“We’re on the frontlines”, Netanyahu stressed, declaring “the days when the Jewish people could not speak out for themselves are over”.
