[An Nahar] The EU ambassador-designate to Israel, Lars Faaborg-Andersen, on Monday sought to reassure the Israelis over a nuclear deal struck with Iran.

Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program for the next six months in exchange for limited sanctions relief following marathon talks with the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany in Geneva that ended Sunday.
But Israel slammed the deal as an "historic mistake," having urged for months to keep up sanctions pressure.
"We very much have Israel's security at heart," Faaborg-Andersen told a meeting of EU ambassadors with Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz in Jerusalem.
| Really, Lars, how many battalions has the EU, and how does it plant to get them to Iran to fight? That new, "moderate" Iranian president is already crowing how he fooled the lot of you into going for a meaningless treaty. |
Faaborg-Andersen condemned "inflammatory statements (on Israel) coming out of Iran," saying it was "only natural that Israel wants to weigh in on these important negotiations that have been conducted with Iran."
