Kongressledamoten Peter King (R-NY), ordförande i representanthusets underkommitté om terroristbekämpning och underrättelse och tidigare ordförande i dess Hemlands Säkerhetskommitté berättade på torsdagen att han "aldrig sett en sådan entusiastisk respons" som svar på premiärminister Binyamin Netanyahus kommande tal till kongressen, där han planerar att lägga ut sina invändningar mot affären formulerad med Iran om dess kärnvapenprogram. Han tillade att han mystifieras av den "motvilliga attityden" ut från Vita huset, som han beskrev som trotsar "alla regler inom diplomati" och ett exempel på "politik som värst."
Tala till Dr Joseph Frager, King sade att han förväntar president Barack Obama att välkomna Netanyahu och lyssna på vad han har att säga om affären som utarbetats med Iran, snarare än vända kalla handen.
"Jag skulle ha trott att presidenten och demokratiska ledare skulle välkomna premiärminister Netanyahu som kommer in för att ha en dialog," sa King, "så om han har legitima invändningar, sedan höja dem till nationell nivå, så att vi kan få detta löst. "
Han beskrev sig också ha hört en hel del bitterhet om "personer som skjuter på år närmaste allierade."
Om senatsmajoriteten beslutar att avtalet med Iran är dåligt, sade han, måste vägar hittas för att avfinansiera affären, eller "sätta en mekanism att den inte kan verkställas." Den tidsfrist som fastställts av förhandlarna om ett avtal, påpekade han, är 24 mars.
"All vår överlevnad hotas av Iran, men ni har rätt i denna världsdel," förklarade han. "Du känner det mer än någon av oss ... ingen kunde ha en större kunskap" om för- och nackdelar med den föreslagna affären än Israel, förklarade han.
Medlemmar av kongressen "är oroade" över tecken på att förhandlingarna mellan världsmakterna, ledda av USA, och Iran skulle sluta med ett "otillräckligt" avtal, fortsatte C.
På tisdagen uttryckte Netanyahu själv liknande oro över den pågående affären. "Detta avtal, om det nu är undertecknat", varnade han, "kommer att tillåta Iran att bli en kärnvapentröskelmakt Det är, i samtycke av stormakterna, Iran -. Som öppet deklarerar sin avsikt att förgöra staten Israel - kommer att få en licens för att utveckla produktionen av bomber.
"Det här är ett dåligt avtal som äventyrar vår framtid", och anledningen till att han var så fast besluten att ta itu med kongressen, tillade Netanyahu.
Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) ekade dessa känslor torsdag.
"Det är oacceptabelt att Iran har kärnvapenkapacitet, och den enda godtagbara överenskommelsen är en som avslutar deras program, är helt transparent och verifierbar," sade hon till doktor Frager, som avfärdar påståenden från Teheran att landets kärnenergiprogram är fred: "Ni behöver inte anrikat uran eller underjordiska anläggningar eller plutoniumreaktor för fredlig kärnkraft. "
Rep. King: There May Be Ways to Defund Iran Deal

Congressman Peter King (R-NY), Chairman of the House Sub-Committee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence and former chairman of its Homeland Security Committee told Arutz Sheva Thursday he has “never seen such an enthusiastic response” as the response to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's upcoming speech to Congress, in which he plans to lay out his objections to the deal being formulated with Iran regarding its nuclear weapons program. He added that he is mystified by the “grudging attitude” exhibited by the White House, which he described as defying “all rules of diplomacy” and an example of “politics at its worst.”
Speaking to Dr. Joseph Frager, King said that he would expect President Barack Obama to welcome Netanyahu and listen to what he has to say on the deal being worked out with Iran, rather than turn a cold shoulder.
“I would think that the president and Democratic leaders would welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu coming in to have a dialogue,” King said, “so if he does have legitimate objections, then raise them at the national level, so we can get this resolved.”
He also described hearing a lot of resentment about “people taking shots at our closest ally.”
If the Senate majority decides that the agreement with Iran is a bad one, he said, ways would have to be found to defund the deal, or “put a mechanism in force that it can't be enforced.” The deadline set by the negotiators for an agreement, he noted, is March 24.
"All of our survival is threatened by Iran, but you guys are right in that neighborhood,” he explained. “You feel it more than any of us... No one would have a greater knowledge" of the pros and cons of a proposed deal than the Israelis, he stated.
Members of Congress "are concerned" over signs that negotiations between world powers, led by the US, and Iran would end with an "insufficient" agreement, C continued.
On Tuesday, Netanyahu himself voiced similar concerns over the pending deal. "This agreement, if indeed it is signed," he warned, "will allow Iran to become a nuclear threshold state. That is, with the consent of the major powers, Iran – which openly declares its intention to destroy the State of Israel – will receive a license to develop the production of bombs.
"This is a bad agreement that endangers our future," and the reason he was so determined to address Congress, Netanyahu added.
Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) echoed those sentiments Thursday.
"It is unacceptable for Iran to have nuclear weapons capability, and the only acceptable agreement is one that ends their program, is completely transparent and verifiable," she told Dr. Frager, dismissing claims by Tehran that its nuclear program is peaceful: "You don't need enriched uranium or underground facilities or a plutonium reactor for peaceful nuclear power."
