Sen. Dianne Feinstein has called recent remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Congress "arrogant" saying that no US ally would do what Netanyahu has done, Press TV reported.
Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, was referring to an anti-Iran speech Netanyahu delivered at Congress on March 3 to persuade American lawmakers to put more pressure on Tehran during nuclear negotiations.
During his speech, Netanyahu said that Israel has been saying for "over a year that no deal is better than a bad deal. Well this is a bad deal, a very bad deal. We're better off without it."
"The alternative to this deal is a much better deal. A better deal that doesn't leave Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure and such a short breakout point," the premier added.
Feinstein said that "what Prime Minister Netanyahu did here was something that no ally of the United States would have done".
"I find it humiliating, embarrassing and very arrogant because this agreement is not yet finished," she said during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press".
"To trash it before you have the final period on it, before you know what it is, I think is a huge error in judgment for our number one ally in that area," she added.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is in the middle of nuclear talks with the P5+1 group - Russia, China, France, Britain, the US and Germany - in order to reach a final agreement after an interim deal was reached in November 2013.
In an interview with CBS aired on Sunday, US President Barack Obama expressed optimism about the deal saying "Iran has abided by the terms of the agreement".
