{Israel reacted with vehement skepticism at the signing of an interim agreement that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had vociferously described as the \u201cdeal of the century\u201d for Iran because it eased sanctions while allowing Tehran to continue enriching uranium.}<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first time the world\u2019s leading powers have agreed to uranium enrichment while ignoring Security Council resolutions which they led and years worth of sanctions which contain the key to a peaceful diplomatic solution,\u201d Netanayhu said at the start of the weekly Sunday morning cabinet meeting. \u201cThese sanctions are now being removed in return for cosmetic concessions which can be undone by the Iranians within weeks.\u201d He followed the criticism with the kind of threat of military action that first brought the Iranian nuclear portfolio to global prominence three years ago. \u201cIsrael is not bound to this agreement while Iran is committed to the destruction of Israel,\u201d Netanyahu said. \u201cIsrael has the right to protect itself in the face of any threat. I wish to reiterate that as the Prime Minister of Israel \u2013 Israel will not allow Iran to develop nuclear military capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
The same ominous sounds echoed through the government. \u201cThis is the Islamic Republic\u2019s biggest diplomatic victory since Khomeini\u2019s revolution, and the result here will be an arms race,\u201d Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman told Army Radio on Sunday morning, as details of the agreement first became known. Recently returned to his job after being acquitted of corruption charges, Lieberman was among the Israeli officials lambasting the agreement for failing to cut back on the number of centrifuges currently operating, which stands above 18,000. The machines produce fissile material that can be used to create energy, or be upgraded to the intensity required to fuel a nuclear weapon<\/p>\n
