Obama to give pre-Netanyahu interview

Sounds like President Obama is planning a prebuttal of Benjamin Netanyahu's speech Tuesday on Iran nuclear negotiations.

Obama will give an interview to Reuters on Monday, a day before Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress.

"The Israeli prime minister is expected to oppose Obama's drive to get a nuclear agreement with Iran," says a statement on the Obama interview from Reuters, which has a huge international audience.

Obama and aides say an agreement with Iran -- in which the U.S. and allies agree to reduce sanction on Tehran if it forgoes the means to make nuclear weapons -- is the best way to prevent the country from getting nukes.

Netanyahu says Iran cannot be trusted, and poses a mortal threat to Israel.
