Talks between Iran and six world leaders about Iran�s nuclear program are ongoing and appear to be extended past Tuesday�s deadline for the outline of an agreement.
All sides are saying they are making progress, which means a successful agreement that would lift international sanctions against�Iran and restrict them from�obtaining nuclear weapons is a real possibility.
But don�t tell Arizona Republican Senator John McCain that.
McCain took to�the Senate floor to�suggest that Israel �go rogue� and resist any kind of�agreement. Not doing so, said McCain, might mean they don�t survive the nearly two years left in�the Obama presidency.
"The Israelis will need to�chart their own path of�resistance. On the Iranian nuclear deal, they may have to�go rogue. Let's hope their warnings have not been mere bluffs. Israel survived its first 19 years without�meaningful US patronage. For now, all it has to�do is get through�the next 22, admittedly long, months," McCain said on�the Senate floor.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already criticized the deal, saying it would leave much of�Iran�s nuclear infrastructure alone, and that included underground research facilities, a plutonium reactor, and centrifuges that are capable of�enriching uranium.
For its part, Tehran has said it want to�enrich only for�energy, science and medical purposes.
