Netanyahu: Iran Nuclear Deal Poses Threat to U.S., Israel
(NBC News) Elizabeth Chuck - The Iran nuclear deal poses a threat to both Israel and the U.S., Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told NBC News on Wednesday. "Iran has killed more Americans than anyone other than al-Qaeda. They're going to get hundreds of billions of dollars to fuel their terror and military machine," he said. "Iran is different. It's a zealot country." Netanyahu contends Iran cannot be trusted with any sort of nuclear program. "I have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there is still time to avert them," he warned. "For 2,000 years, my people, the Jewish people, were stateless, defenseless, voiceless." Netanyahu's wariness is shared by the Arab world, where countries expressed skepticism that a deal would really prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. "When Arabs and Israelis agree, it's worth paying attention," Netanyahu said.
