Reuters: Obama, Israel's Netanyahu clash over Iran diplomacy
(Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu clashed over Iran nuclear diplomacy on Monday on the eve of the Israeli prime minister's hotly disputed address to Congress, underscoring the severity of U.S.-Israeli strains over the issue.
Even as the two leaders professed their commitment to a strong partnership and sought to play down the diplomatic row, they delivered dueling messages – Netanyahu in a speech to pro-Israeli supporters and Obama in an interview with Reuters – that hammered home their differences on Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Update: Obama, Netanyahu face off ahead of speech to Congress -- CNN
WNU Editor: They do not see eye-to-eye on how to curtail Iran's nuclear program, and while President Obama is correct when he says the following .... Barack Obama: Iran nuclear deal will not destroy Israel relations (The Telegraph) .... relations between the current White House administration of President Obama and the current Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu are in "the toilet".
