Secretary of State John Kerry shot back at opponents of the nuclear deal with Iran, saying Israel will be safer as a result of the agreement. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed Tuesday's historic agreement as a "bad mistake of historic proportions" that will give Iran a "sure path to nuclear weapons." In an interview with NBC News, Kerry insisted that was not the case, saying the deal was the best option and has long-lasting implications. "What the critics of this plan never offer... is a realistic alternative," Kerry said. "It's wrong for people to think this doesn't have long-term accountability." Kerry added that "Israel is safer" as a result of Tuesday's accord. "This is under attack by people who really don't know the terms of the agreement," he said.
