Netanyahu to Discuss Iran With Trump
This article is for subscribers only.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing to renew his assault on the Iran nuclear deal when he meets with Donald Trump, whose opposition to the accord overarches growing questions about its fate.
The U.S.-president elect has called the U.S.-led Iran agreement the “worst deal ever negotiated” and plans to nominate one of its leading critics, retired Marine General James Mattis, as defense secretary. Adding to the tensions, the U.S. Senate on Thursday voted to extend the U.S. president’s authority to impose sanctions on Iran, drawing swift denunciation from Iranian authorities.
