WASHINGTON – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised President Trump’s choice ​to ​de-certify the Iran nuclear deal as “the right decision for the world.”

Netanyahu, the chief opponent of the Obama-era accord, said Trump’s move Friday​ ​could bring allies to the table to improve the “bad” deal.

“It’s a very brave decision and I think it’s the right decision for the world,” Netanyahu told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

​​Trump declined to certify the deal and ​has asked​ ​Congress​ to pass new legislation to put more teeth into the US sanctions policy toward Iran. ​But Trump declined to withdrawal from the international agreement – yet.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned it will be tough for Congress to pass bipartisan legislation and probably even tougher for the nuclear deal to be amended internationally since Iran is unlikely to rejoin negotiations.

Tillerson has advised penning a “secondary” nuclear deal that will address Iran’s non-nuclear activities and deficiencies in sunset and inspection provisions.

Netanyahu believes Trump’s action could spur the parties to the table.

“I think that what the president has done is create n​e​w space to prevent a very bad deal from materializing and to fix it,” Nethanyahu said. “Everybody should join forces in doing just that.”

Trump has said if the the deal can’t be fixed, he’ll cancel it.

Meanwhile, he’s giving ​C​ongress time to make improvements.

One of Netanyahu’s chief concerns is ​that ​Iran could kickstart a nuclear weapons program as the deal sunsets and will be infused by a windfall of cash from the lifting of sanctions.

“In a very few years, Iran will be this humongous power,” Netanyahu told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “This is an Iran that says: ‘Death to America. Death to Israel.’ You’re the great Satan, we’re the little Satan. I suppose Europe in between is the middle size Satan.”

Since the nuclear deal was signed “Iran has been like a tiger unleashed from its cage,” Netanyahu added. “It has not joined the community of nations. It’s devouring nations left and right.”
