At the AIPAC annual meeting on Monday, National Security Adviser Susan Rice said that a bad nuclear deal with Iran is worse than no deal. Her remarks to the pro-Israel lobbying group took place a day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will give an address to Congress against U.S. nuclear talks with Iran. Rice also said that the U.S. approach to Iran is to "distrust, but verify," and any deal must "cut off any pathway for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon," The Associated Press reports.
