Netanyahu calls his speech ‘practical alternative to Iran deal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his speech to the US Congress gave a “practical alternative” to a possible Iranian nuclear deal. Netanyahu spoke in Israel on Wednesday after US President Barack Obama said the Israeli leader had offered no viable alternative to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons, AP reported. His alternative would extend the breakout time for Iran to create a bomb, Netanyahu said. It would maintain sanctions until Tehran stops “its sponsorship of terrorism around the world, its aggression against its neighbors and its calls for Israel’s destruction,” he added.
