The US vice-president, who has delivered a pro-Israeli speech in the Israeli parliament during his official visit to the country, said on Tuesday to Israeli leaders that Washington will pull out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal if it is not fixed in the coming months.
Commenting on the issue of the agreement, which is known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Pence said that the European community should decide if it supports the United States or remain in what he called a “deeply flawed” deal. The comment comes a day after UK Prime Minister Theresa May said at the meeting with US State Secretary Rex Tillerson that London remained committed to the agreement.
Speaking in Israel’s parliament on Monday, Pence has described the higly contested deal as a “disaster” and promised that the Trump administration would “never allow” Tehran to have “nuclear weapons.”
