Iran nuclear agreement does not threaten Israel, says US senator

The framework agreement reached by the international community and Iran does not threaten the survival of Israel, said US Senator Dianne Feinstein on Sunday.

Ms Feinstein, who as the vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on intelligence advises on foreign affairs, responding to criticisms from the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said,

“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.”

Earlier today, Mr Netanyahu, urged the US to strengthen the agreement with Iran, alleging that the current agreement framework gave Tehran “a free path to the bomb.”

Any agreement with Iran must include commitment to recognise state of Israel, says Netanyahu (03 Apr 2015)
