The United States and Israel clashed on Wednesday over Iran as Benjamin
Netanyahu called for Tehran’s entire nuclear programme to be dismantled and
warned the world against accepting a “partial deal”.
The Israeli prime minister made clear his dismay at Washington’s softer
approach towards Iran. He said the ongoing negotiations should insist that
Tehran end all enrichment of uranium, destroy all fissile material and close
water plants and underground bunkers that he said could only be used to
build a nuclear bomb.
The six world powers involved in talks with Iran have not made firm
commitments on what it would allow Tehran to keep, but are not insisting on
it eradicating its nuclear industry.
“I think a partial deal that leaves Iran with these capabilities is a bad
deal,” said Mr Netanyahu.
John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, said only that the United States would
continue to insist Iran prove to the world that its nuclear programme is
peaceful, as Tehran claims.
