Obama says rejecting Iran nuclear deal ‘a vote for war’

London: United States President Barack Obama has said that rejecting Iran nuclear deal will be a vote for war as Congress prepares to vote its approval or disproval of the agreement.

According to the BBC, Obama is due to speak at American University in Washington.

Congress lawmakers have come under intense pressure from Israeli interest groups to reject the deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a conference call arranged by a Jewish organization, rejected the notion that a vote against the deal is a vote for war.
