Israel Condemns Newly-Started Iran Talks
The first day of the Kazakhstan conference between the P5+1 and Iran has come and gone, with no signs of a deal being close and many saying it is unlikely that Iran will accept the various Western demands for what appears to amount to a very trivial easing of sanctions. Israeli officials see no need to wait for the talks to officially fail, however, and is out in front of them, condemning the talks from the start, insisting that they are an “Iranian ploy” aimed at keeping their civilian program running while diplomacy continues to stall.
