The US State Department announced on Sunday that Congress would have 60 days from Monday to review the text of the agreement.
In his interview with ABC, Netanyahu rejected the idea that Israel could be somehow compensated following the nuclear agreement with Iran.

Netanyahu suggested the nuclear agreement would one day allow Iran to arm its terrorist proxies with weapons “much deadlier” than missiles.
Kerry said the agreement, which culminated from months of talks between the top diplomats of Iran and the group that includes the USA, Britain, China, France, Russian Federation and Germany, likely won’t restart diplomatic relations with Tehran.
“Our ability to carry out that strategy is unchanged”, Carter said aboard his plane, according to the Associated Press. “And if you think Iran is going to change their behavior in a decade, I can tell you how unlikely that is because just nine years ago, they were trying to kill me and my soldiers”.
US Secretary of State John Kerry today warned that Iran would not face any worldwide sanctions if the Republican-majority Congress does not pass the nuclear deal, which has been negotiated by the USA and key world powers.
Kerry and the administration of President Barack Obama assert that the deal they have achieved with Iran assures that the Islamic Republic can not acquire a nuclear weapon.
Cohen said that Iran has not abandoned its nuclear program and added that with the hundreds of billions of dollars that will flow into its coffers Iran will step up the terrorism that it spreads in the region and around the world. “A USA president should be in the business of protecting the USA, not simply seeking to secure a faux legacy built on bad deals. I think that is a likelihood”, Obama told a White House news conference on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Carter will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has called the deal a “historic mistake” that would only make it easier for Iran to back its proxies in the Middle East.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei promised this past weekend that Tehran would continue its support for allies in Yemen and Syria, where Iranian support has helped President Bashar al-Assad survive four years of civil war.
Carter said he would focus in meetings with King Salman and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman on enactment of commitments made at a summit of gulf leaders in May. “I said access anytime, anywhere in the sense of a well defined procedure and a well-defined time window to resolve it”, he said.
Heitkamp said preventing Iran from getting a nuclear bomb was paramount, but she also stressed the importance of image. Mr. Ya’alon will host Mr. Carter at a military facility in the north, along Israel’s border with Lebanon, to discuss the security threat posed by Iranian-backed Hezbollah. But, in fact, Iran actually gets both thing.
