Israeli PM: reviving Iran deal - critical mistake

Reviving the Iran nuclear deal is a critical mistake that will spark a new wave of terror attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid warned German leaders against during a series of meetings he held in Berlin on Monday.

"We discussed the need for a new strategy to stop Iran's nuclear program. A nuclear Iran will destabilize the Middle East and create a nuclear arms race that will endanger the entire world," Lapid said during a joint press with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during a joint press event.

"Returning to the nuclear agreement under the current conditions would be a critical mistake. Removing sanctions and pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into Iran would bring a wave of terrorism not only to the Middle East but across Europe," the Israeli PM noted.
