Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid out the case against the Iranian nuclear program to President Donald Trump, in a Tuesday morning interview.

“Fully fix or fully nix,” the prime minister declared of the Iran deal. He aded that if you “fully fix, you need a major overhaul and really need a new deal.”

“The person who is going to make that decision for the United States is one person,” Netanyahu continued. “That’s President Trump. And I trust his judgment. I know that he will do the right thing and I said yesterday he will do the right thing for America. The right thing for Israel. And the right thing for the security and peace of the entire world.”

Trump is facing a self imposed May 12 deadline to decide the fate of the nuclear deal. Netanyahu revealed Monday a trove of documents stolen from Iran which reveal a decades long effort to conceal their nuclear program from international inspectors.

“When they did the nuclear deal with Iran, it was premised on Iran would come clean it would admit if it had any nuclear weapons program. They didn’t come clean. They lied. One item after the other. They lied to the international atomic energy agency and they were supposed to come clean. That was the premise of the deal. So the deal was flawed from the start by many things,” Netanyahu said.
