Netanyahu to Macron: Nuclear deal will die, need to tackle Iran's 'aggression'
PARIS (Reuters) - Israel's
leader urged France on
Tuesday to turn its
attention to tackling Iran's
"regional aggression",
saying he no longer needed to convince Paris
to quit world powers' 2015
nuclear deal with Tehran
as economic pressure
would kill it anyway. Benjamin Netanyahu was
in Paris for talks with
President Emmanuel
Macron as part of a tour to
persuade the European
signatories - Britain, France and Germany - to
follow Washington's lead in
pursuing a tough stance on
Iran after it pulled out of
the accord and reimposed
sanctions on Tehran. "I didn't ask France to
withdraw from the JCPOA
(Iran deal) because I think
it is basically going to be
dissolved by the weight of
economic forces," Netanyahu told a joint
news conference with
