Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly criticized a potential deal on Iran's nuclear program in a rare address to a joint session of US Congress this morning.

He's opposed to a deal with Iran, supported by the Obama administration, that would restrict Iran's nuclear program, saying it doesn't go far enough.

His high-profile speech comes less than two weeks from a contentious election in Israel, in which Netanyahu's own political future hangs in the balance.

And that's drawn criticism from some US lawmakers and the Obama Administration.
