RFERL:
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has reiterated that the United States will "withdraw" from the Iran nuclear deal with world powers unless the agreement is "fixed."
Pence made the comments in an address to the Israeli parliament on January 22, as U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson cited progress in getting European support for tough penalties against Tehran that could prevent a U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear accord.
Responding to Pence's address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Western powers must "seize the opportunity to correct the failings of a failed deal, but if those leaders do not seize that opportunity, Israel will unequivocally support the president's decision to walk away from a bad deal."
France's foreign minister accused Iran later on January 22 of not respecting part of a United Nations resolution that calls on Tehran to refrain from work on ballistic missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads.
