Iran’s president touts gains made by his country in final nuclear deal
(JTA) — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani touted the gains made by the Islamic Republic under the terms of the final agreement with the world powers on its nuclear program.
“Today is the end of oppressive sanctions. The chain of sanctions is broken,” Rouhani said Tuesday in an address to the nation after the announcement of the final deal. “Honorable Iranian nationals, all sanctions, including on missiles, will be lifted on days of implementation. Not suspended, lifted.
“At first they wanted us to have 100 centrifuges; now we will have 6,000. They wanted restrictions of 25 years; now it’s 8. Fordo had to be closed; now we will have 1,000 centrifuges there,” he said.

Netanyahu: Iran deal a ‘stunning historic mistake’
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lambasted the accord between Iran and world powers limiting Iran’s nuclear program, calling it a “stunning historic mistake.”
Netanyahu, who has vehemently opposed the accord since negotiations between the parties began in 2013, said Tuesday in Jerusalem that “the world is a much more dangerous place today than it was yesterday” due to the agreement.
The deal would remove international sanctions on Iran in exchange for Iran freezing and storing much of its nuclear infrastructure, ridding much of its stockpile of enriched uranium and converting its nuclear facilities.

Key points of historic nuclear deal reached by Iran and 6 world powers
Iran and six leading world powers signed a comprehensive plan for ending international sanctions against Iran in exchange for putting restrictions on its controversial nuclear program. RT takes a look at the groundbreaking document.
The deal signed in Vienna on Tuesday is meant to break a 12-year standoff over Iran’s nuclear activities, which some nations claimed involved military research. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) acknowledges Iran’s right for peaceful nuclear development on par with any other signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is tasked with verifying voluntary nuclear-related measures by Iran. Iran and the six nations – China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and the US, are to hold ministerial-level meetings at least once every two years to monitor the progress.

Israel to focus on Congress as it sees Iran deal as inevitable
Netanyahu views Congress as ‘last line of defense against a bad deal,’ but US lawmakers have yet to be briefed on details of agreement; ‘There’s a lot of questions members of Congress have before they decide whether they can support this agreement,’ says Senator Ben Cardin.
Israel appears to have reluctantly accepted the inevitability of an Iranian nuclear agreement, and is now focusing its efforts on stopping the deal’s approval in Congress.
“The assumption is that there’ll be an agreement,” an Israeli official said, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu views the US Congress as a “last line of defense against a bad deal.”

Likud denies Netanyahu said West Bank construction frozen
Ruling party denies settlers’ claims that diplomatic pressure halted Jewish expansion beyond Green Line
July 14, 2015, 11:56 am
The Likud party denied Tuesday reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told West Bank Jewish leaders that international pressure effectively froze settlement development in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
During a closed section of a Likud faction meeting Monday, the prime minister reportedly said Jewish settlements could “no longer be developed and we must preserve that which exists.”
According to local council leaders, Netanyahu made the remarks after a heated discussion regarding a building project in the settlement of Beit El that the High Court of Justice ruled would be demolished because it was built on private Palestinian land.
On Tuesday, Netanyahu’s Likud party issued a statement rebuffing the reports stating “the prime minister said he would advance housing projects in Beit El by evacuating a nearby Border Police base,” according to a report in Ynet.
“Contrary to reports, the prime minister did not rule out construction in Judea and Samaria. Rather, he said he supports the settlement enterprise with wisdom and responsibility despite the complex international reality,” it said using the Biblical name for the West Bank.

Get off your crutches, quit Iran talks, go hug Bibi, Huckabee urges Kerry
At Christian pro-Israel summit, GOP presidential candidates unite in denouncing deal with Tehran, disagree on Palestinian statehood
July 14, 2015, 1:10 am
WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidates revealed key differences while talking up their pro-Israel credentials at the annual summit of Christians United for Israel in Washington on Monday, where hopefuls such as former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and former senator Rick Santorum denounced a two-state solution, and former Florida governor Jeb Bush offered guarded support for such an outcome.
With dire warnings about the results of nuclear talks with Iran and condemnation of the Obama administration’s stance toward Israel, the GOP politicos used the forum to court some 1.6 million CUFI members, who tend to lean conservative.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in brief video comments to the conference, said keeping Iran from becoming a nuclear weapons power was the “paramount challenge” of this generation.
Both Huckabee and Santorum disavowed longstanding US policy of supporting a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ruling out the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
“I am not for a two-state solution,” Santorum told attendees at the annual conference. “I don’t think it’s the role of the United States of America to be dictating solutions any more than if there is an internal territorial dispute in the United States.”
