RFE/RL's Brian Whitmore on why the Iran nuclear agreement is a bad deal for Russia:
Path To War Closed
"One day, Hitler ordered bloodshed from a Vienna balcony. Today from another Vienna balcony diplomats closed path to war."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the deal would give Iran "hundreds of billions of dollars to fuel its terror machine." ()
On Twitter:
"When you are ready to make an agreement at any price -- this is the result. From the first reports we can already determine that this agreement is a historic mistake."
"We knew that the desire to sign the agreement was stronger than anything and therefore we did not commit ourselves to prevent it, but we have committed ourselves to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and this commitment remains."

"The deal is dangerous for Israel and the entire free world. The money that will flow to Iran will first of all fuel terror in the streets of Jerusalem, Washington, and London."
Education Minister Naftali Bennett of the far-right Jewish Home party called Iran the "most dangerous country in the world which espoused the destruction of countries and peoples."
Bennett tweeted that a "terror nuclear superpower" had been born.
