"Certainly there will be a statement, perhaps a signed paper, but this document will only be a statement of intentions - an attempt to conclude this round somehow, without a total breakdown, but also without the parties being fully satisfied....Looking at the agreement overall - it's a bad deal for the West.

Iran's breakout time to the bomb would be less than a year if Iran is left with the ability to develop advanced centrifuges, Ya'alon said, adding that the West would be better off not signing any deal than signing a "bad deal."
