Israeli Prime Minister says President wins ‘wake up’ to Iran nuclear deal | European Union News

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has criticized the new Iranian president as “hanged”, describing Ebrahim Raisi’s election victory as the world’s last “awakening” before returning to the nuclear deal with Tehran.

Mr Bennett made the remarks on Sunday as he opened his first Cabinet meeting since swearing in his new coalition government last week.

Chief of Judith Chief President was elected Iran’s next President on Saturday with 62% of the vote in history short vote. He was sanctioned by the United States in part for his role in the 1988 genocide, in the end of the Iran-Iraq war. The president has not commented on the details of the ceremony.

Mr Bennett said at a cabinet meeting in Jerusalem that “of all the people (the Iranian Prime Minister Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei had elected, he was hanged in Tehran, a prominent figure among Iranians and internationally to lead the death committees that killed Iranian citizens. innocent all these years. ”

Iran and world powers resumed secret talks in Vienna on Sunday to revive the Tehran nuclear deal that was disrupted in 2015, which gave Iran relief in exchange for its nuclear weapons program.

The Iranian and American ambassadors have been discussing a back to the union in the Austrian capital via central Europe from April.

An important agreement between the world powers and Iran, which Israel has opposed, was disrupted after former US President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the alliance in 2018. The ruling has seen Iran, over time, abandon any economic sanctions and Tehran here to multiply. uranium at a very high level, although still relatively low compared to weapons.

Bennett said the election of the President as President of Iran “is a last chance for the world powers to rise before returning to the nuclear deal and understanding those involved in business”.

“These people are murderers, mass murderers: a brutal crucifixion government should not be allowed to carry weapons of mass destruction that could kill thousands, but millions,” he said.

Israel has long said it opposes Iran’s nuclear weapons program, which is a major enemy and will prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran confirms that its nuclear program is designed to be peaceful.

Earlier this month, Mossad’s chief of missions in Israel announced that Israel was the cause of the country’s recent nuclear holocaust.

Harry Fawcett of Al Jazeera, a spokesman for West Jerusalem, said Bennett’s comments to an international audience were aimed at reassuring Iran that his homeland was in danger.

Bennett leads a major coalition of factions ranging from Jewish factions to liberal movements and the Arab party that established long-serving former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and sent him to protest for the first time in 12 years.

“The fact that [Bennett] he said this in English was interesting because he was talking to his minister, kind of [meeting] how you can see his followers Benjamin Netanyahu speaking in Hebrew, “said Fawcett.

“So this is clearly a global message – a message designed to force Israel to act in the light of the possibility of a nuclear deal with Iran resumes.”

Nuclear negotiations are over

Later on Sunday, talks in Iran with six world powers suspended negotiations on a nuclear deal, and they agreed to return to their headquarters for talks as the remaining issues remain to be resolved, officials said.

“We are now closer than ever in the alliance but the distance between us and the alliance still exists and establishing it is not an easy task,” Iranian media spokesman Abbas Araqchi told the TV government from Vienna.

“We’re going back to Tehran tonight.”

A week after their recent talks, parties linked to the Russian delegation say no rescheduling date has yet to be set, although they say they can return in 10 days.

Enrique Mora, the European Union’s top policymaker who co-sponsored the talks, told reporters in Vienna that progress had been made this week in six talks.

“We are close to the agreement but have not yet arrived. We are closer than a week ago but we have not arrived yet, ”said Mora.

The talks on Sunday are the first since the President – who will take office in August – have won the by-elections.

The president, like Khamenei, has supported nuclear talks as a way to end US sanctions that have undermined the economy of the Islamic Republic and exacerbated the economic crisis, which has left many dissatisfied.

The new government hopes to claim any financial benefits resulting from the renewal of the agreement, which the outgoing supervisors will be able to obtain from the President before taking office.

Several Iranian officials have told Reuters news agency that the negotiating team will remain stable for several months under the auspices of the President.
