US President Barack Obama criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's condition that the final agreement on the Iranian nuclear program should include an item on the recognition of the State of Israel by Tehran.
"The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won't sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms," Interfax cited the President.
This idea is "a fundamental misjudgment," Barack Obama said.
