Obama: Terrorist rockets will 'rain on Tel Aviv' if Congress rejects Iran deal

In an attempt to appeal to American Jewish leaders, President Obama warned of the consequences Israel would face should Congress reject the Iran nuclear deal.

"I can assure that Israel will bear the brunt of the asymmetrical response that Iran will have to a military strike on its nuclear facilities," Obama told roughly 20 American Jewish leaders during a two hour meeting at the White House Tuesday night.

"It would be destructive both to the U.S. and to Israel," Obama warned. "An American military action against Iran's nuclear facilities will not result in Iran deciding to have a full-fledged war with the United States. Iran's defense budget is $15 billion. The American defense budget is $600 billion. What Iran would do, and could do, is respond asymmetrically by increasing its support for terrorism."

"You'll see Hezbollah rockets falling on Tel Aviv," Obama added.

So he admits that Iran is sponsoring Hezbollah’s ongoing war against Israel.

Bingo.

Thuggery, threats... what else to expect out of the lowlife punk POSOTUS.

Kind of like accusing the video makers of being violent extremists opposed to the “health services” provided by PP.

Obama’s comment doesn’t agree with the headline of the article, which suggests rockets will fall on Israel shoud Congress reject the ‘arrangement’.

What does rejecting a deal have to do with a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities? Israel may do it, but we’re certainly not going to.

That is clearly an admission of Iran's guilt in supporting terrorism.

Anyone voting for this treaty is a traitor.

he conveniently skips reminding us that AMERICA the ‘Great Satan’ is his Iranian IslamoNazi comrades’ Number One target

which is why they are so busily stocking up on longer-range ICBM’s (not needed to try attacking nearly Israel)

He’s been like this even more so since Netanyahu spoke before Congress. The Israeli PM is essentially the leader of the west for now. He may need to act without us.

Not the same thing. Oh, but wait -- that's the very event that the surrender document was intended to prevent. Obama wants Iran to finish its ICBMs with nuclear warheads so it can launch its preemptive strike on Israel, Europe, and the US -- not the other way around.

Sure, Barry. You have a better grasp of Israel’s security interests than their own Prime Minister does. /sarc

Is Bozo saying that if Congress kills the deal the USA attacks Iran?

0bama has more in common with Black September than he does with the Israelis, and his behavior on the Iranian nuclear weapons program is more evidence of this.
