Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated Israel's stand against Iran during his U.S. Congressional speech on Tuesday, stirring various reactions from both the Republicans and Democrats.

Netanyahu also lambasted the Obama's Administration for keeping a deal about Iran's continuous production of nuclear weapons.

Secretary of State John Kerry recently met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif in Switzerland to establish diplomatic deals in terms of control for Iran's nuclear production.

Netanyahu stated that U.S. made a "very bad deal" with Iran, discounting Iran's claim that its nuclear production is solely geared towards peaceful purposes.

In Netanyahu's U.S. Congress speech, he cited two flaws of the said deal. First, it will leave Iran possessing a well-advance and intact nuclear infrastructure. Second, it allows Iran to escape nuclear restrictions after ten years.

Netanyahu likened Iran's nuclear ambitions to Nazi Germany.

He stressed, instead, three things that the U.S. should insist from Iran. First, Iran should stop its hostilities to its neighboring countries. Second, it should stop supporting terrorism. Lastly, it should end threats against Israel.

"Iran has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted," Netanyahu stressed in his speech.
"The greatest danger facing our world is the marriage of militant Islam with nuclear weapons."

Netanyahu's U.S. Congress speech also cited economic sanctions against Iran if it continuously refuses to end its aggression and nuclear ambitions.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) expressed his support for Netanyahu's U.S. Congress speech.

"This speech is high theatre for a re-election campaign in Israel and a political tool wielded against our President and his administration by the Speaker of the House," Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn said.

Accordingly, Netanyahu was invited by Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) to speak before the Congress without inputs from the White House.
