Israeli PM: Iran nuke deal will bring ‘more violent’ Mideast

Associated Press  

JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister on Sunday criticized an emerging deal over Iran’s nuclear program, saying it would be weaker than a previous agreement and would create a “more violent, more volatile Middle East.” World powers have been negotiating in Vienna in a bid to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which was left in tatters after the Trump administration, goaded by Israel, withdrew. In the meantime, he said that lifting sanctions right away will deliver billions of dollars to Iran to spend on hostile proxy groups along Israel’s borders. It says it wants an improved deal that places tighter restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program and addresses Iran’s long-range missile program and its support for hostile proxies along Israel’s borders, like the Lebanese militant Hezbollah. Iran’s foreign minister said that it’s up to Western countries to show flexibility and “the ball is now in their court.” ___ AP correspondent Tia Goldenberg in Tel Aviv, Israel, contributed reporting.
