5. Note they call it "no nukes" for Iran - to oppose a treaty that will make the possibility quite low

for upwards of 15 years.

Netanyahu himself admits that Iran could well keep the deal for 10 years- meaning no nukes

Netanyahu has said, in the past, that Iran could get a bomb in months.

Without the treaty, we are NOT back to where we were before the deal, during which time Iran greatly increased their stockpile. We are in a WORSE position as it is likely only the US sanctions will remain - and they are nowhere near what the international sanctions were.

Israeli experts have said that bombing all nuclear facilities Iran has would set them back only 2 to 3 years -- because they KNOW HOW to build what they need.

So, the choice - using Netanyahu's own statements - is "only" 10 years (a blip in history) through the deal or 2 to 3 years - risking setting off a regional war in the process. Not to mention, any country that does this AFTER a deal was on the table and rejected by us, will have no support internationally.
