Sputnik- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel remains committed to prevent Tehran from development of nuclear weapons and military action against Iran may return on the agenda.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention on�Sunday to�discuss last year�s deal on�Iranian nuclear program with�US President-elect Donald Trump, while both had expressed opposition to�the deal.

"The problem how to�deal with�this deal is something I'll discuss with�president-elect Trump," Netanyahu said addressing the Saban Forum in�Washington as�quoted by�the Haaretz newspaper. According to�the prime minister, Israel remains committed to�prevent Tehran from�development of�nuclear weapons and military action against�Iran may return on�the agenda. "When I say we're committed to�prevent Iran, I mean we're committed," Netanyahu said when asked about�the possibility of�military action against�Iran in�case of�Tehran's crossing some red lines. Iran is developing a ballistic missile program, which threatens the United States, and supporting international terrorism, Netanyahu alleged.

On July 14, 2015, Iran and the P5+1 group of�world powers�� China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States plus Germany�� signed the JCPOA, ensuring the peaceful nature of�Tehran's nuclear program in�return for�the gradual lifting of�sanctions. The agreement came into�force on�January 16, after�the IAEA submitted a report confirming the readiness of�Iran's authorities to�implement the program to�reduce the country�s nuclear potential.

Netanyahu, as�a staunch opponent of�the Iran nuclear deal, has repeatedly said that despite�the fact of�nuclear nuclear agreement with�world powers Tehran had not abandoned its aim to�obtain nuclear weapons. During the 2016 presidential election, Trump was very critical of�the Iran nuclear agreement, characterizing it as�one of�the worst in�history.
