ISRAEL DEEPLY UPSET AT TALKS IN VIENNA ON THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL, AND PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAYS "IT IS A BAD MISTAKE" OF JUDGEMENT BY THE SIX WORLD POWERS!!

Iran nuclear deal 'a bad mistake' - Israel's Netanyahu

A deal on limiting Iran's nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions has been reached at talks in Vienna.

Six world powers including the US, Russia and the UK have been negotiating with Iran for several years.

Iran, which wants crippling international sanctions lifted, has always insisted that its nuclear work is peaceful.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted by saying that Iran would receive a "sure path to nuclear weapons" and "a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars.

The BBC reports:

The international negotiators who agreed the Iranian nuclear deal took their talks right down to the wire.

Then - time after time - they moved the wire and kept right on talking.

But in large parts of the Middle East, where the prospect of a stronger Iran is viewed with dread, there was never any real sense of suspense.

Israel, Saudi Arabia and the other states who feel threatened by the terms of the new deal have been resigned for months to the idea that the US-led world powers were determined to have an agreement and were prepared to offer major concessions to get one.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who sees Iran as a mortal enemy, has already said that the agreement shows the dangers of being ready to do a deal at any price, and the Sunni Arab states of the Gulf, who see Iran as a dangerous and aggressive neighbour, will also feel that a much, much harder bargain could have been struck.

An Israeli minister, Danny Danon, put it in lurid terms.

"This agreement is not just bad for Israel, it's dangerous for the entire free world. Giving the world's largest supporter of terrorism a free pass in developing nuclear weapons is like providing a pyromaniac with matches," he said.".
