Netanyahu Campaigns Against “Historically Bad” Iran Deal

HeadlineApr 06, 2015

As the United States and Iran try to sell the agreement to domestic audiences, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues his bid to undermine a final accord. Speaking to NBC’s Meet the Press, Netanyahu called the deal “historically bad.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I’m not trying to kill any deal; I’m trying to kill a bad deal. And you say it’s an historic decision, an historic deal. It could be an historically bad deal, because it leaves the preeminent terrorist state of our time with a vast nuclear infrastructure. Remember, not one centrifuge is destroyed. Thousands of centrifuges will be left spinning uranium. Not a single facility, including underground facilities, nuclear facilities, is being shut down.”

Despite Netanyahu’s claim, the agreement would reduce Iran’s installed centrifuges by more than two-thirds.
