Minister of Science, Technology and Space Danny Danon reacted to the agreement reached in Vienna between the P5+1 powers and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“We are disappointed, and very concerned, with the deal reached in Vienna. This agreement is not just bad for Israel, it’s dangerous for the entire free world,” said Danon. “Giving the world’s largest supporter of terrorism a free pass in developing nuclear weapons is like providing a pyromaniac with matches,” he continued. “The money that is about to flow into Iran will undoubtedly be used to fund terrorism throughout the region, and the world.”
“Now that the talks are over, it is time for action. I call upon our friends and allies in the relevant parliaments tasked with reviewing this agreement to reject this bad deal,” Danon said. “If the elected leaders in the P5+1 allies who have democratic parliaments refuse to remove the very sanctions that brought Iran to the negotiating table, there is still a chance of forcing the Ayatollahs to agree to a deal that will truly block their path to a nuclear weapon,” he concluded.

Unfortunately the leading western countries do not consider the Middle East (including Israel and the Arabs) to be part of the “free world.” The Iran deal will have no negative impact on those who matter to the powers that be (and unfortunately, Israel is not one of those who matter). Note that except for the United States (and maybe Britain but not much longer), the western countries are all oil importers, and benefit from Iran being able to export oil (while Russia, suffers from the same). In addition, Iran is fighting Islamic State, which is a threat to the “free world.”
