Israeli Minister Refutes Claim that Iran Deal Is Working
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner and Yoav Zitun - Israeli minister Tzachi Hanegbi responded on Saturday: "There is no basis for the American government's approach according to which the full Iranian implementation of the nuclear agreement is indicative of its success....Iran has no reason to violate it during its validation period because it already serves all its purposes. Iran continues its regional subversion unabated. It arms and finances terror organizations and continues to advance its illicit production of ballistic missiles." "Statements made by President Obama about support by Israeli security officials for the agreement are inaccurate. The Israeli security establishment is aware of the fact that the agreement, if not violated, prevents the strengthening of Iran's nuclear capacity for at least a decade. At the same time, all of our intelligence officials have stated that when the agreement expires Iran will be free of all restrictions which were imposed upon it by the agreement, and will therefore stand on the brink of acquiring a nuclear weapon within a short space of time....Every day that passes brings us closer to this harsh reality."
