Tel Aviv Tries to Derail Iran, 6 Major World Powers Talks

Local Editor

Stepping up its campaign to derail talks between Iran and the six major world powers, , "Israel" called on the United States and the European Union not to let up sanctions against Tehran.

At an assembly of the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency in al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Sunday, the "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the illegal sanctions have crippled Iran and that Tehran should not be allowed to have a single centrifuge at its nuclear facilities.
"This is the deal that is proposed now. Iran does not roll back its nuclear making capacities at all but the P5+1 are rolling back sanctions. That's a bad deal. It's a dangerous deal," Netanyahu said.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry reassured Tel Aviv that Washington would not enter into what has been described as a bad deal with Iran.
"We are not blind and I don't think we are stupid. I think we have a pretty strong sense of how to measure whether or not we are acting in the interest of our country and of the globe and particularly of our allies like Israel, and [Persian] Gulf states, and others in the region. We are absolutely determined that this would be a good deal or there would be no deal," Kerry told the American TV channel NBC.
"That's why it's hard. That's why we didn't close the deal here in the last couple of days. Because we are together unified, pushing for things that we believe provides the guarantees that Israel and the rest of the world demand," he added.

Kerry also said the US would maintain the "current architecture of sanctions," against Iran.

The closed-door talks between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Britain, Russia, China, France and the US -- plus Germany began in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday and ended on Sunday.

Tehran strongly rejects "Israeli" and American claims against its nuclear energy program, maintaining that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
