He says Western leaders had vowed to impose sanction the moment the Islamic Republic crossed that threshold.
The Israeli leader has been one of the harshest critics of the nuclear deal. Israel considers Iran to be its most dangerous enemy because of its nuclear program and threats to destroy Israel.
