President Donald Trump understands the "danger" of the Iran nuclear deal, the Israeli prime minister said on Thursday, adding that Israel will take all measures necessary to stop Tehran from getting atomic weapons. Netanyahu is vehemently opposed the deal, arguing that it will not prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons' capability, which would pose an existential threat to Israel. Netanyahu said that despite what he described as a revival of anti-Semitism in the West, the greatest danger "comes from Iran." "I spoke a few days ago to President Trump and he spoke about the Iranian aggression. While the two countries are close allies, relations were sometimes tense between Netanyahu and President Barack Obama because of their vastly different world views on the Iran deal and other issues.
