Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein says “I think [Netanyahu] said what he has to say
to be candid, [but] I think this can backfire on him,” responding to Netanyahu’s interview on CNN on Sunday where he attacked the understandings reached between world powers and Iran last week regarding a future deal on Iran’s nuclear program.

“He has put out no real alternative,” for the agreement during his speech to the US Congress on March 3, says Feinstein.

Netanyahu on Sunday – as well as during the speech – called for tougher sanctions against Iran which will make the Islamic Republic buckle under the economic pressure and agree to a nuclear deal on conditions more favorable to the West.
