A nuclear-armed Iran is a "thousand times" more dangerous and destructive than ISIS, cries Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, according to rt.

His remarks were made before the political and technical experts from Iran and world powers came to meet in Vienna before the June 30 deadline, so that they can work over the deal for Tehran's nuclear program.

Netanyahu told the US Senator, Bill Cassidy, that the nuclear deal would be a "very bad"option to take.

"I see no reason to rush to a deal, and certainly not a bad deal that paves Iran's path to the bomb, but also fills Iran's coffers with tens of billions of dollars to pursue its aggression throughout the Middle East and around Israel's borders," Netanyahu said.

Although the ISIS atrocities were "horrific," Netanyahu said that it was still not comparable to a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic.

Netanyahu has been a fierce critic of the looming deal between Iran and world powers comprising the United States, Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany, according to alarabiya.

 "Once Iran, the preeminent terrorist state of our time, acquires nuclear weapons, it will be a hundred times more dangerous, a thousand times more dangerous and more destructive than IS," he said, even as technical teams are pettifogging over the minor details before the June 30 deadline, in order to finalise a deal over Tehran's nuclear program.

Many details are still not resolved, such the scale of sanctions relief and exact verification that can ensure that Iran has no nuclear aspirations.
