Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer says he believes US President Donald Trump would not agree to a “bad” nuclear agreement with Iran.

“I have a lot of confidence that President Trump would walk away from a bad deal today,” Dermer says on a panel at a conference in Jerusalem organized by the Jewish News Syndicate.

Asked whether Israel would be willing to strike Iran’s “military facilities” by itself, Dermer says he would not “talk about operational issues,” but that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should be believed when he said he would do whatever it takes to prevent Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
