"Israel fully supports today's brave decision by President Trump to reject the catastrophic nuclear deal with the terrorist regime in Tehran," Netanyahu said in a televised address to the nation.
The Israeli prime minister's statement comes after US President Donald Trump earlier in the day announced his decision to withdraw Washington from the nuclear agreement with Iran.
In 2015, Iran and the six international mediators (Russia, the United States, Britain, China, France, Germany) reached a deal, which stipulated the removal of nuclear-related sanctions in exchange for Tehran keeping its nuclear program peaceful.
