World press on Israel and Iranian nuclear programme (November 9-10, 2013)

The Jerusalem Post published an article headlined "Netanyahu warns American public against 'very bad deal' with Iran."

 

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took his case against a nuclear accord with Iran directly to the US public on Sunday, appearing on American TV to decry "a very bad deal" he feared the Obama administration was pursuing," the article reads.

 

"Negotiators from world powers will resume talks with Iran in 10 days after failing late on Saturday to reach agreement on an initial proposal to ease international sanctions against Tehran in return for some restraints on its nuclear program."

"Israel is highly skeptical of any move to reduce sanctions at all without first eliminating what it sees as a danger that Iran could build a nuclear weapon," the Jerusalem Post writes.

 

"All Iran gives is a minor concession of taking 20 percent enriched uranium and bringing it down to a lower enrichment, but that they could cover within a few weeks given the capabilities that they keep for enrichment," Netanyahu is quoted as saying.

"Zero - not one" uranium-enrichment centrifuge would be dismantled under a deal that would effectively turn Iran into "a threshold nuclear power" able to build an atomic weapon quickly once it decided to do so," he said.

 

The Guardian pblished an article entitled "Iranians angry and bewildered after French torpedo Geneva nuclear entente."

 

"France's role in Geneva talks that ended with no agreement over Tehran's nuclear programme has prompted bewilderment and anger inside Iran," the article reads.

"Iranians, who stayed awake all night to find out whether their negotiators have reached a breakthrough with the west, were disappointed that France was prepared to defy the Americans and block a stopgap deal, and that western sanction would not end any time soon."

"The Irna state news agency reported that Iranian businessmen were considering reducing their trade ties with France, saying they no longer considered it as a good partner because of its "adventurist and immature behaviour" at Geneva," the article reads.

 

"Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani, reacting to news from Geneva, said Tehran would not bow to "sanctions, threats, contempt and discrimination", the state-run Press TV reported. Rouhani was speaking to the members of Iran's parliament, Majlis, where he was defending his nominee for the sports ministry, Nasrollah Sajjadi."

 

"In reaction to the Geneva talks, the Twitter account believed to be run by the office of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted old remarks Iran's supreme leader made about France in a speech in March," the Guardian writes.

"French officials have been openly hostile towards the Iranian nation over the past few years; this is an imprudent and inept move. A wise man, particularly a wise politician, should never have the motivation to turn a neutral entity into an enemy.," the newspaper quotes the tweet as saying.
