Bibi Afraid of Nuke Deal, Urges US for New One

As the nuclear talks concluded a breakthrough US-Iran deal, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is getting more and more anxious.

Hence, he had taken his fight against the nuclear deal with Iran a step further, appearing on three US talk shows in attempt to persuade the audience that the agreement struck was "bad" and a "better" one was needed.

The Zionist entity took to the US airwaves to once again decry the preliminary nuclear agreement announced days ago in Switzerland and set to be finalized at the end of June.

"A better deal would roll back Iran's vast nuclear infrastructure," Netanyahu said on CNN's "State of the Union program". "That's a better deal. It's achievable."

Netanyahu believed that sanctions should be ramped up not rolled back in order to pressure Iran. He also expressed doubt about the efficacy of inspections.

He added on NBC's "Meet the Press": "I'm not trying to kill any deal. I'm trying to kill a bad deal."

Netanyahu lashed out at the deal hours after it was signed, arguing in a phone conversation with the US President, that it would only "increase the risks of nuclear proliferation in the region and the risks of a horrific war."

The White House defended the US stance on Iran against "Israeli" criticism, with President Barack Obama calling the agreement a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

In a weekend interview with Thomas Friedman, a columnist for "The New York Times" Obama expressed hope that the Americans could "conclude this diplomatic arrangement - and that it ushers a new era in US -Iranian relations - and, just as importantly, over time, a new era in Iranian relations with its neighbors."

Obama's message was also addressed to US lawmakers, as Republicans in the Senate pressed for Congress to be allowed to vote on the final deal between Washington and Tehran.

"Look, the president needs to sell this to the American people, and Congress needs to be involved," said Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The committee would vote on legislation on April 14 requiring Obama to submit a final nuclear agreement to Congress for review and approval.

Last month, Netanyahu raised the hackles of the administration after accepting an invite from Republicans to address US Congress urging lawmakers to stand up to the White House and stand strong against Iran.
Democrats considered the move a violation of Capitol Hill protocol.

One of the Senate's most prominent voices on foreign affairs, Democrat Dianne Feinstein appeared on CNN with harsh words for the "Israeli" frontrunner as he made the talk show rounds.

"I wish he would contain himself," she told CNN's "State of the Union program." "I don't think it's helpful for "Israel" to come out and oppose this one opportunity to change a major dynamic which is downhill, a downhill dynamic in this part of the world."

Professor of International Law at Georgetown University Daoud Khairallah stated that although the Zionist entity would mobilize all resources to try and derail the nuclear deal, Washington and its allies in the Middle East would eventually have to adjust to a new reality.

"They had made an environment of tension in the Middle East based on vilifying Iran and creating an Iranian scarecrow and nuclear threat to the whole world."
