NEW YORK (Web Desk) — US Secretary of State John Kerry warned Israel of finding itself more isolated in the international arena and “more blamed”, if Congress voted against the Iranian nuclear deal, signed last week in Vienna.

Kerry said this while delivering a speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York, reported The Times of Israel.

“I fear that what could happen is that, if Congress were to overturn it, our friends in Israel could actually wind up being more isolated. And more blamed,” Kerry told the audience.

Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren rejected Kerry’s statement. “If American legislators reject the nuclear deal, they will do so exclusively on the basis of US interests,” said Oren in a statement.

Earlier, Kerry warned that any future Israeli military action against Iran over its nuclear program would be an “enormous mistake.”
