  • He went on to argue, however, that, despite this, he could not stay silent while Iran remained a threat to his country. He believes the agreement as currently formulated will still allow Iran to be a formidable nuclear power. 
  • John BoehnerThe Speaker of the House was the person who invited Netanyahu to speak to Congress in the first place.

  • Representative Steve Cohen told the New York Times, “I stand with Israel, always have stood with Israel, and always will, but this speech is not about Israel. Netanyahu is not Israel just like George W. Bush wasn’t America.”
  • Kerry really wants these talks to work out, especially since his diplomatic forays in Israel and Syria have not worked as well. 
  • Kerry also made an effort to show he was very much aware of what Obama administration opponents were saying about his schedule during a speech to the U.N. Human Rights Council on Monday, According to the Associated Press, Kerry urged the organization "to end what the United States says is its unfair and biased focus on the Jewish State."

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint meeting of Congress at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday in Washington, D.C. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Congress on Tuesday that the current nuclear deal being negotiated with Iran could spark an arms race in the Middle East and turn it into a "nuclear tinderbox."

    "Iran has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted," Netanyahu said. "We must all stand together to stop Iran's march of conquest, subjugation and terror." I think that this is a very interesting subject matter because other countries are saying they can't trust Iran with nuclear weapons, but who gets to decided which country is trusted and can have nuclear weapons?

Susan Rice: Netanyahu visit 'destructive' - 3 views

    As Netanyahu is prepared to tear down the White House's efforts in negotiating Iraqs nuclear program, some democrats decided it wasn't worth attending while eight senators thought the same thing.

    This just proves that the disaster with this whole agreement will be huge. Iran's government obviously doesn't like us, and the Senate's participation in listening to the speech upset Netanyahu. And he argued that the deal currently in the works to prevent the nation from gaining nuclear weapons would in fact "guarantee" that it secures them - "lots of them." This scares me personally because the relationship between the U.S. and Iran doesn't look promising right now.

  • Senior U.S. and Iranian officials kicked off the second day of the latest round of nuclear negotiations here on Tuesday as Israel's leader prepared to deliver a speech to Congress denouncing a potential deal as dangerous to the Jewish state and the world.
  • Iran would have to suspend its nuclear activities for at least a decade as part of any final agreement.
  • It is clear that Obama's stance is aimed at confronting propaganda by Zionist regime's prime minister and other extremist opponents of the negotiations,"

    This article shows how the secretary of state is working with Israel and discussing how to deal with Iran and its nuclear activities.

    It makes sense that Israel is not pleased with the US trying to Negotiate with Iran, without completely removing their nuclear advancement, but instead only delaying it in return for the removal of the US sanctions. Not only does that make Israel Iran's major target, but it also allows for Iran to become more wealthy during that delay period, which makes them an even larger threat to Israel.

    It's very interesting that the Iranian leader is offended by the president's actions and how that might take accord in the rest of the agreements.
