Netanyahu compares Iran deal to deal with N. Korea

In an interview with NBC earlier today, PM Netanyahu compared the yet-to-be-signed deal with Iran, as announced in the framework deal reached in Switzerland last week, to the deal signed with North Korea – with dire consequences:

“The entire world celebrated the deal with North Korea. It [was] deemed to be a great breakthrough; it would bring an end to North Korea’s nuclear program; you’d have inspectors. That would do the job. And of course everybody applauded it, but it turned out to be a very, very bad deal and you know where we are with North Korea.

“I think the same thing would be true in the case of Iran, except that Iran is a great deal more dangerous than North Korea. It’s a militant Islamic power bent on regional domination, in fact, bent on world domination, as it openly says so. They just chanted “Death to America” a few days ago on the streets of Tehran, the same streets where they’re rejoicing right now. Don’t give the preeminent terrorist state of our time the access to a nuclear program that could help them make nuclear weapons. It’s very bad for all of us. “
