Netanyahu warns West against growing concessions in Iran nuclear talks
A potential deal between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries could be anathema to the Tel Aviv regime as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned the West about what he described as growing concessions to Iran in the nuclear negotiations.
Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu expressed concern at an emerging final nuclear deal, saying the West is giving more and more concessions to Iran with each passing day in the marathon talks in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
"What's coming out of the nuclear talks in Vienna is not a breakthrough, it's a breakdown," the Israeli premier said.
He claimed that the emerging deal would be even worse than the nuclear deal that had been signed with North Korea, allowing Pyongyang to obtain an arsenal of nuclear weapons.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia – plus Germany have held marathon talks over the past nine days in Vienna to strike a landmark nuclear deal before the July 7 deadline.
In a video message on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran and the six world powers "have never been closer to a lasting outcome."
"Getting to ‘yes’ requires the courage to compromise, the self-confidence to be flexible, the maturity to be reasonable, the wisdom to set aside illusions, and the audacity to break old habits," Zarif said.
The Iranian foreign minister also stated that Tehran was ready to "strike a balanced and good deal and open new horizons to address important common challenges."
