UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Describing Iran as a "rapacious tiger," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday condemned the Iran nuclear deal as empowering Tehran to spread further unrest in the Mideast while leaving the country capable of quickly making an atomic bomb.
"This deal doesn't make peace more likely," he told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly. Through releasing billions of dollars in sanctions relief to Iran, he said, "it makes war more likely."
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian jets carried out a second day of strikes in Syria Thursday, and Sen. John McCain said that the targets included U.S.-backed rebels, as concerns grew about a conflict that has now drawn in warplanes from the world's two most powerful militaries.
Russian President Vladimir Putin denied reports that civilians were killed in any Russian airstrikes.
