Netanyahu calls for rejection of n-deal with Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday gave a call for rejection of a bad nuclear deal with Iran, insisting such an accord would allow the Islamic republic to develop nuclear bombs.

"We are better off" without a bad deal with Iran, the Israeli leader told a joint session of the US Congress in a move that has further strained his tense relationship with the Obama administration, Xinhua reported.

He said that a final negotiated deal will make "major concessions" to Iran by leaving it with "a vast nuclear infrastructure" and provide it with "a short break-out time to the bomb", as well as lifting all the restrictions on Tehran nuclear programme in about a decade.

Netanyahu arrived in the US Monday.
