Over 5,000 former senior Israeli defense officers signed a letter urging US President Joe Biden not to sign a renewed Iran nuclear deal, FOX News reported.
The ex-officials claimed that the new deal would give Iran a viable path to nuclear weapons.
"Despite your administration’s repeated declared commitment to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons, this agreement creates a clear legal pathway for Iran to obtain nuclear weapons by 2031, while denying the signatories of any tools to prevent that eventuality," said the letter written by Israel's Defense and Security Forum and addressed to Biden.
Last week, it was first reported that a renewed Iran deal could be signed soon, after Iran dropped certain demands that the US would not go along with.
"The deal will unleash a regional nuclear arms race, in which states like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other Sunni states will seek to either develop or acquire nuclear weapons to mitigate the Iranian threat," the letter said.
