Netanyahu and Obama's Views on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech to Congress, opposing President Obama's proposed deal with Iran. Netanyahu argued that the deal would empower Iran's aggressive regime, which has been in power for 36 years, and would not lead to positive change. He expressed concerns that lifting sanctions would strengthen Iran's economy, enabling it to fund more terrorism and destabilize the Middle East.
