Ben Caspit, Al Monitor: Israeli defense minister says Iran deal will set off nuclear arms race in region
By the afternoon of July 13, Jerusalem had come to terms with the fact that Iran and the superpowers had apparently reached an agreement. As far as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and Minister of Strategic Affairs Yuval Steinitz are concerned, this is the moment of truth. The public debate will heat up intensely over the next few days, culminating in Netanyahu’s anticipated visit to the United States in September to attend the UN General Assembly meeting. He is planning a bitter battle on Capitol Hill as he treks from senator to senator in an immense, unprecedented effort to prevent Congress from approving the agreement and to override the president’s veto with a 67-senator majority.

If Netanyahu really wanted to show his disapproval to the deal he would send the IAF into Syria to make a series of strategic hits on the Assad regime making them all that much weaker and stressing the blank out of the Iranians. I suppose the Obama admin wouldn't be too happy either, but hey isn't Assad the bad guy!
