California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Sunday she believes her fellow Democrats will support the Iran nuclear deal hammered out last week by the Obama administration and other Western nations.
But she said she is aware of Israel's concerns and said that an attack on the American ally would lead to war.
"I think it's pretty clear to everybody that America has Israel's back," Feinstein said on
"Face the Nation," pointing out the the United States gives large amounts of money and security aid to Israel.
"If Israel were to be attacked, this would be major war on our part," she said.
But Feinstein sounded hopeful in Iran's "moderate elected government that wants to make a change," saying, "We'll see if this is enough to induce that change.
Turning to the lone wolf terror attack that left four Marines and one member of the Navy dead last week, Feinstein said that such attacks may become commonplace in America since there is little officials can do to stop them.
"This concerns me very greatly," she said.
Feinstein said she has met with the chief counsels of the major Internet companies in an attempt to have them remove information, such as how to build undetectable bombs and where to sit on a plane to have them explode.
"They will not do it unless they are mandated to do it by law," she said.
