PM says Iran nuke deal won’t boost stability; implies it won’t stop Israeli strike
|
[IsraelTimes] Bennett’s comments come as the Vienna talks aimed at salvaging the moribund 2015 accord enter a critical phase
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett implied Sunday that Israel could launch a military strike against Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
even if the Islamic Theocratic Republic and world powers revive their 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.
"The greatest threat against the State of Israel is Iran," Bennett said during the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. "As the government, we are responsible for dealing with the Iranian nuclear program and, of course, we are monitoring the Vienna talks.
"Our position is well-known and clear: An agreement — according to the apparent terms — will damage the ability to deal with the nuclear program. Anyone who thinks that an agreement will increase stability is mistaken," he added, according to a readout from his office. "It will temporarily delay enrichment but all of us in the region will pay a heavy, disproportionate price for it."
Bennett accused Iran of ramping up its belligerence in recent weeks — seemingly alluding to a string of regional attacks by Tehran-aligned Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i rebels — despite its ongoing negotiations on returning to the nuclear deal.
"That is how you conduct negotiations, Tehran-style," the premier declared.
"We are currently closing gaps and building up Israel’s military strength for years and even decades to come. Israel will maintain freedom of action in any case, with or without an agreement," he added.
Bennett and Biden discuss Iran, killing of IS chief, in phone call
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Bennett speaks with US President Joe Biden, lauding the American raid in which the head of the Islamic State terror group was killed and discussing efforts to block Iran’s nuclear program, the premier’s office says.
“The world is a safer place thanks to the brave efforts of American forces,” the prime minister tells the president, according to his office.
Bennett’s office says the two also discuss the threats posed by Iran in the region, as well as the “steps to block the Iranian nuclear program.
