Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the agreement reached today by Iran and major world powers on Tehran's nuclear programme as a historic mistake and said he would do what he could to block Iran's nuclear ambitions.
"Iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons. Many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted," Netanyahu said at the start of a meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders in Jerusalem.
"Iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars, which will enable it to continue to pursue its aggression and terror in the region and in the world. This is a bad mistake of historic proportions."
