US President Barack Obama said on Monday there are differences in opinion between him and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the Iranian nuclear issue, warning him against souring ongoing negotiations with Tehran by visiting Washington next month, several media outlets reported.

"I do not want to be coy. The [Israeli] prime minister and I have a very real difference around Iran's sanctions," Obama said at a joint press conference in the White House with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

"I have been very clear. Angela agrees with me and David Cameron agrees with me, and the others who are a member of the negotiations agree that it does not make sense to sour the negotiations a month or two before they are about to be completed and we should play that out," he said.

Earlier in the day, Netanyahu said he would go ahead with his planned address to Congress to "prevent dangerous agreement" with Iran.

Bibi Netanyahu: souring everything he touches.

1. Bibi looks more the Fool every day. Obama took him head on. Hopefully more Ds will "be busy".

This is carnival level juvenile behavior.

2. This election cycle is all in for the Neo-Cons around the world.

This is just on piece of their Fascist Dictate and the control of all Minerals and Wealth. We are living Orwell's spoof called 1984.
