Netanyahu warned that if the US-Iran nuclear deal is accepted "that deal will not prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons," but "it will guarantee" Iran gets the bomb.
"For over a year, we've been told that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well, this is a bad deal. It's a very bad deal. We're better off without it," Netanyahu said in his address to the US Congress which was attended by lawmakers from both the Republican and the Democratic parties.
"This deal won't be a farewell to arms. It would be a farewell to arms control. And the Middle East would soon be crisscrossed by nuclear tripwires. A region where small skirmishes can trigger big wars would turn into a nuclear tinderbox," he said.

Netanyahu said Iran is playing a "deadly 'Game of Thrones' and warned that the country's regime "poses a great threat not only to Israel but also to the peace of the entire world."
Iran and the Islamic State are "competing for the crown of militant Islam," Netanyahu said.
"Iran's regime is as radical as ever, its cries of 'Death to America', that same America that it calls the 'Great Satan', as loud as ever."
"Now, this shouldn't be surprising, because the ideology of Iran's revolutionary regime is deeply rooted in militant Islam, and that's why this regime will always be an enemy of America," said the Israeli Prime Minister.
