US Senator Menendez is the second leading Democrat to announce his opposition to President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.

President Obama accused PM Netanyahu of meddling in US politics, saying he could not remember a time in which a foreign leader had interfered as much in American affairs.

The Iran nuclear deal President Obama has approved now faces a 60-day review in Congress. Will Congress also approve it? Obama has already said he would veto any opposition to the deal.

As the Obama administration progresses towards a dangerous deal with Iran, a bipartisan delegation of US senators came to Jerusalem to support Netanyahu.

Days after Netanyahu's historic Congressional speech against a deal with Iran, Obama said that the US would "walk away" from an unacceptable agreement.
