Kerry: If Congress rejects Iran deal, Israel will be blamed

Secretary of State John Kerry said a rejection of the nuclear deal with Iran by the U.S. Congress would put Israel at risk of being "more isolated and more blamed."

Speaking in New York on Friday before members of the Council on Foreign Relations think tank, Kerry declared there are "no alternatives" to the nuclear agreement the United States and five other world powers struck with Iran.

A clear focus in Kerry's message on Friday was his past and continuing support for Israel, even recalling his 100% voting record for Israel during his time as senator.

With the deal, Kerry said, "I believe Israel is safer, I believe the region is safer, I think the world is safer," but he warned that if the deal isn't adopted, "friends in Israel could end up being more isolated and more blamed."

Relations between the longtime ally nations are obviously tense.

If Congress rejects the Iran deal, you can blame the American people, who have far more sense than their president or his Secretary of State.

""friends in Israel could end up being more isolated and more blamed.""

Iran has already stated that they want Israel wiped off the face of the earth. Just how much more isolated and blamed can they make Israel than they already have?
