Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the U.S. and other world powers to seek a firmer deal with Iran Sunday over that country's nuclear program and said that hes "not trying to kill any deal, just a bad deal.

"I think the alternatives are not either this bad deal or war. I think there's a third alternative. And that is standing firm, ratcheting up the pressure, until you get a better deal," the Israeli Prime Minister told CNN's "State of the Union". "A better deal would roll back Iran's vast nuclear infrastructure and require Iran to stop its aggression in the region, its terror worldwide, and its calls and actions to annihilate the state of Israel."

On Thursday, the United States and five other world powers reached agreement with Iranian officials on the framework of a deal to limit Tehrans nuclear enrichment program. The deadline for a final agreement is June 30.

The deal aims to cut significantly into Iran's bomb-making technology while giving Tehran relief from international sanctions. The commitments, if implemented, would substantially pare down Iranian nuclear assets for a decade and restrict others for an additional five years.

On Sunday, the Associated Press reported that it had obtained a document drawn up by experts in Netanyahu's office that gives a glimpse of the arguments the Israeli leader plans to raise, targeting vague language in the system of inspections and its failure to address issues beyond the nuclear program.

Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Netanyahu said the agreement outline "could be a historic bad deal because it leaves the preeminent terrorist state of our time a vast nuclear infrastructure ... Thousands of centrifuges will be left, not a singular facility, including underground facilities will be shut down."

Netanyahu added that the framework leaves Iran with the capacity to produce material for many nuclear bombs.

On ABC's "This Week", Netanyahu also warned that a deal could spark a nuclear arms race among the Sunni countries in the Middle East.

On CNNs State of the Union, Netanyahu said restrictions placed on Iran are temporary, after a few years, Iran will have unlimited access.

According to a U.S. document summarizing last week's agreement, Tehran is ready to reduce its number of centrifuges, the machines that can spin uranium gas to levels used in nuclear warheads, and submit to aggressive monitoring and inspections of its nuclear facilities.
