“I’m baffled by it,” Boehner told reporters about the news report that comes at a time of strained relations between the U.S. and Israel. “I’m not aware of that at all.”

The so-called P5+1 group — Britain, China, France, Russia the United States and Germany — is rushing to craft a framework for a deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from sanctions before a deadline expires at the end of the month.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been feuding with the White House over an emerging deal, and he has come under fire for comments he made in the final days of Israel’s parliamentary election campaign last week.
