Recognize Iran's threat to the world: Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has called on the United States and its allies to "wake up" to the threat posed by Iran. He made the remarks at a time when talks are under way to re-implement the nuclear deal with Iran.
Newly-elected Israeli Prime Minister Naftali
Bennett has said that Iran's "government of assassins" wants to build
a nuclear weapon, while Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful
purposes.
Diplomats say progress is being made on
re-implementing the nuclear deal with Iran, but some issues remain to be
agreed. Remember that under President Trump, the United States withdrew from
this agreement.
Israel has always opposed the agreement. Earlier,
a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry said that the international
community should be deeply concerned about the election of new Iranian
President Ibrahim Raeisi.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Lear Hayat said
Ibrahim Raisi was Iran's most radical president ever. He warned that the new
leaders would promote Iran's nuclear activities.
On Saturday, Ibrahim Raisi was declared the
winner of Iran's presidential election, saying the race was designed to give
him the upper hand.
A nuclear deal was struck between Iran and
the West in 2015, after which tough sanctions on Iran were lifted. However,
former US President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the deal in
2018, saying Iran was deliberately violating the agreement and once again
imposed economic sanctions on Iran.
The administration of new US President Joe
Biden is now looking for a way to rejoin the agreement.
Iran also stepped up its nuclear program
after sanctions were tightened. Iran is currently enriching uranium at the
highest level. However, Iran has not yet acquired the capability to build a nuclear
bomb.
The situation between the two countries is
extremely complex, but a major source of tension is Iran's nuclear program.
Iran blames Israel for killing its nuclear
scientist Mohsen Fakhrizada and attacking its uranium enrichment plant in
April.
Negotiations to save Iran's nuclear deal are
under way in Vienna on the day Raisi became Iran's president.
