I don't know what the purpose of Netanyahu's lecture was. It seems to me that, if anything, he strengthened the case for keeping the nuclear agreement with Iran as the reference notes ("Why Netanyahu's revelations should make Trump uphold the Iran nuclear deal")*
In strong and consistent statements, as if they had been developed for weeks, Pompeo expressed deep concern about how the Iran deal did nothing to deter Iran's aggression in the region, support for terrorism, or development of new missile systems.*
The nuclear agreement was to deter Iran from pursuing a nuclear bomb and had nothing to do with support for terrorism, or development of new missile systems. These are separate issues. Pompeo graduated first in his class at West Point. Certainly, he is smart enough to know this. Getting rid of the nuclear agreement just because it was something done by Obama threatens the security of Israel as well as the U.S.
Modern politics in the U.S. and Israel makes me want to scream!
