Netanyahu: There is no reason to hasten a bad Iran agreement

[ssba]

“At a time when the entire world is shocked, and rightly so, by the simultaneous terrorist attacks perpetrated by extremist Islam over the weekend in three countries on three continents, it must be recalled that Iran is continuing to assist the Assad regime commit slaughters of a similar magnitude on a daily basis.

Two days before the final date set for the talks on achieving an agreement between the major powers and Iran, all of these things are being pushed aside. Everything is being ignored despite the publication of official reports. But practically, there is no demand that Iran change its behavior and its violations are being completely overlooked. Its extreme demands, as well as the concessions to Iran, are increasing. We see before our very eyes a pronounced retreat from the red lines which were recently declared – in public – by the major powers. There is no reason to hasten this bad agreement, which is becoming worse by the day. It is still not too late to go back and insist on demands that will genuinely deny Iran the ability to arm itself with nuclear weapons and prevent it from receiving vast sums to finance its aggression, its spreading out and the terrorist onslaught that it is pushing throughout the world.” (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to the Cabinet, 28/06/2015)
