US congresswoman says Iran’s nuclear facilities 'must be bombed'

Republican member of the House of Representatives Rep. Michele Bachmann says Iran’s nuclear facilities “must be bombed” despite a nuclear agreement between Iran and six major powers.

“It may be incumbent upon the Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] to make a decision he has no desire to make, and that would be to bomb facilities, that must be bombed, in Iran,” Bachmann said during a speech at a Zionist Organization of America gala.

On November 24, a six-month accord was sealed in Geneva between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the US, Britain, Russia, France and China -- plus Germany.

The House Intelligence Committee member said the nuclear deal was a deliberate effort to harm Israel’s security interests.

“That decision that was made by the P5+1 in Geneva had more to do with Israel than it had to do with Iran,” she said.

“Because, you see, the decision that was made could be the biggest cudgel that our president, and that the nations of the world, could use to prevent Israel from defending not only herself, but her right to exist,” the congresswoman claimed.

The Jewish group, the Zionist Organization of America, had earlier condemned the agreement and described it as “an appeasement deal.”

The former US presidential candidate pointed out that the deal has left Israel isolated.
