Netanyahu still irate over Iran nuclear conclusion
… from Press TV, Tehran
[ Editors Note: The jury will still be out on this unusual public slap down of Bibi the Bombastic. Was it sincere, or just play acting?
The Western FM negotiators of course are obliged to defend the agreement. One would assume that part of making the nuclear deal is they would stand up forcefully to those trying to kill it. All of us at VT, including the readers, know that Israel generally excuses itself from going into the timeout box.
But these FM statements were not the usual bland objections we are used to seeing for effect, the ones the Zionists don’t really care about. These had some bite. So someone might have been sending a message to Israel that “there is more where that came from if you remain on the offensive in trying to kill the deal.”
The publics of these respective countries have surrendered their elected officials to being under the thumb of their respective Israeli lobbies. You need to hire a private detective to find any real opposition to their bowing down on command for Israel’s core issues. Even the heads of State get more opposition than the Jewish Lobby.
So the question that must be asked is when does political advocacy cross over the line into becoming political espionage for a foreign power? I am working on an article to investigate that red line. It is one thing for Israel to run aggressive operations like this, and a quite another when the political and security organs of the targeted countries make a conscious decision to stand down on busting up the espionage rings and putting them all on trial, including their US side helpers, including the Congressmen involved.
For those who claim that would damage the country, that is just a cheap dodge on their part, as to allow these kinds of espionage operations to continue, almost unimpeded, REALLY hurts the country.
Those who know about it and do nothing are guilty of aiding and abetting, a serious crime when it comes to espionage. But until the public raises hell about it, we will continue to see our representatives serve two masters — or maybe even three — as the case may be… Jim W. Dean ]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeated his strong opposition to the recent conclusion of nuclear talks between Iran and the six world powers.
“We would have wanted to see a deal that says the following: ‘Iran, you will get the easing on the restrictions on your nuclear program, and you will get sanctions relief if you change your behavior first,” Netanyahu told British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond in al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Thursday.
He added that any sanctions relief would make it easier for the Islamic Republic of Iran to continue to support the anti-Israel front, including the Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah and Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas.
Hammond, in return, dismissed Netanyahu’s bellicose comments, stressing that the accord clinched between Iran and the P5+1 group — the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany — in the Austrian capital city of Vienna on July 14 is only intended to place temporary limits on Iran’s nuclear program and does not address Tehran’s policies in the Middle East.
On Wednesday, the British foreign secretary told the parliament that the Tel Aviv regime seeks a “permanent state of standoff” with Iran and suggested it would not welcome any kind of solution to Tehran’s nuclear case.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that the conclusion reached on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Vienna should ease tensions in Middle East.
“It has enhanced regime of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, of course, it should decrease tension in this difficult region,” Lavrov said at a news conference in the Russian capital, Moscow, on Thursday.
Netanyahu has described the conclusion of the nuclear talks as a “stunning, historic mistake.”
“Israel is not bound by this deal with Iran, because Iran continues to seek our destruction,” the Israeli prime minister claimed.
Meanwhile, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has criticized Israel’s opposition to the conclusion of talks between Iran and the P5+1 group.
“This is a responsible deal and Israel should also take a closer look at it and not criticize the agreement in a very coarse way,” Steinmeier said in an interview with German broadcaster ARD on Wednesday.
The United States on Wednesday submitted a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council on the outcome of the nuclear talks between Tehran and the world powers. The draft resolution seeks formal UN endorsement of the outcome of the talks, and according to diplomatic sources, a vote on it could come as early as July 20 or 21.
