Netanyahu says gave 'practical alternative' to Iran deal

>

Upon landing in Israel after addressing the U.S. Congress on Tuesday, a speech which Obama said the Israeli leader had offered "no viable alternatives" to a deal being worked out with Iran, Netanyahu voiced satisfaction that he had made his own message heard around the world.

"I proposed a practical alternative at my speech in Congress, one that on the one hand prolongs by years the time it would take Iran to break out to a nuclear weapon, if it decides to breach the agreement, by imposing tougher sanctions," he said.
