EU Aid Plan for Iran a "Big Mistake," Says Netanyahu
(Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized an EU economic aid plan for Iran during a visit to Lithuania on Friday. "I think giving money to this regime at this time is a big mistake and should be stopped," he said, referring to $20.9 million that the EU has earmarked for Iran to keep the nuclear deal alive. The EU said the funds were part of a wider package of $58 million intended to help Iran "address key economic and social challenges." Netanyahu said, "It is going to go to the missiles and the Revolutionary Guards in Iran, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East."
