PM calls nuclear deal ‘marriage certificate of that unholy union’
After mentioning Iran’s support for international terrorism, Netanyahu turns to Iran’s nuclear program, saying the deal will give the Islamic Republic the fissile material for nuclear weapons within 10 years.
“As leader of a country defending against Iran’s aggression, I wish I could take comfort in the claim this deal blocks Iran’s path to nukes,” Netanyahu says.
“While giving the mullahs more money is likely to fuel more repression at home, it will definitely fuel more aggression outside Iran.”
“I have long said that the greatest danger facing our world is the coupling of militant Islam with nuclear weapons,” and proceeds to call the nuclear deal a “marriage certificate of that unholy union.”
