President Barack Obama says every country that has commented on the Iran nuclear deal has supported it—except for Israel.
Obama said the rejection of the Iran nuclear deal would lead to only one option, which would be another war in the Middle East.
Obama is singling out Israel's government in a speech about the deal at American University. He's describing opponents of the deal as outliers and noting that the deal has support from non-proliferation experts and former ambassadors from both political parties.
Obama is also chiding critics who had opposed his interim nuclear deal, but who now say it's better than the final deal. He says thwarting the nuclear deal will actually accelerate Iran's race for a nuclear weapon.
