JERUSALEM (AP) An official Israeli analysis has drawn up a list of alleged shortcomings of the nuclear framework agreement between Iran and world powers, providing a basis for what is expected to be months of furious lobbying by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reshape or cancel the deal.
Netanyahu, an outspoken critic of the negotiations with Iran, has already criticized the deal as insufficient. He is expected to lobby heavily against the framework deal as its language is finalized ahead of a June 30 agreement.
The framework agreement was announced on Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland, by U.S.-led world powers and Iran. It seems to cut significantly into Iran's bomb-making technology while giving Tehran quick access to assets and markets blocked by international sanctions. The commitments, if implemented, would substantially pare down Iranian nuclear assets for a decade and restrict others for an additional five years.

(27 posts)Just wait. Israel will lobby like hell and exert all its influence. They'll line enough people's pockets w/money to override Obama's veto. They will win like they always do.

Incidently, though Hillary is not officially a candidate, she also has come out for the deal.
Regardless, even if that happens, the President doesn't need them to agree to the deal. Yes, after his term is up the next administration could undo what he does, but it is more than just the U.S.
We are talking about Russia, China, Germany, and other European countries. The U.S. is not the only party involved, though our wonderful MSM would like us to believe that the world revolves around us.
