Senior Israeli officials on Sunday sharply criticized US President Joe Biden's administration over the nuclear talks with Iran in Vienna, Channel 13 News reported.
According to the report, those officials said in closed talks that "the Biden administration has turned diplomacy into a religion, and the US agreement with Tehran will be meaningless."
According to those officials, the agreement addresses issues that were relevant in 2015, but since then Iran has made great strides in the field of uranium enrichment.
The officials pointed to a number of problematic clauses in the emerging agreement, according to which Iran will not have to destroy the advanced and rapid centrifuges it has accumulated, but rather will store them aside. In addition, Iran will be given the right to determine whether the other partners to the deal have breached the agreement, which will allow it to withdraw from the agreement.
They also pointed out that the expiration date of the agreement will be in eight years, in 2030, without change from the previous agreement.
The report comes amid speculation that the US and Iran, which have been holding indirect talks in Vienna, are close to reaching an agreement. READ MORE
