'Bad nuclear deal' will allow Tehran to bolster 'terror machine': Netanyahu

While branding the agreement reached on Iran's controversial nuclear program "a bad deal," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted that Tehran would use the relief from sanctions to bolster its military operations and its "terror machine."

Netanyahu claimed that the agreement lifted the economic sanction on Iran "fairly quickly," leaving Iran with a vast nuclear infrastructure and enabling them to get millions of dollars into their coffers, reported ABC News.

He added that the money will not be used to build schools, hospitals or roads but to "pump up their terror machine worldwide" and their military machine that is engaged in conquering the Middle East now. Iran and six world powers chalked out an outline agreement on the future of Iran's nuclear programme following days of negotiation in Lausanne, Switzerland last week.

The framework nuclear deal will require Iran to reduce its uranium enrichment capacity in exchange for relief from sanctions. Also, Iran's nuclear facilities will be subject to regular International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspections.

The Middle East nation will have to rebuild its heavy-water reactor in Arak so that it cannot produce any more weapons-grade plutonium. The talks between the so-called P5+1 nations- the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany - and Iran continued well beyond the self-imposed deadline of March 31. The world powers and Iran will now seek to draft a comprehensive nuclear accord by June 30.
