(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon discussed the talks on Iran's nuclear program on Wednesday. "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 should not be left with any self-enrichment capacity." 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." "A deal that grants legitimacy to an aggressive regime, that welcomes it into the family of nations, that removes limitations on it - better to keep up the pressure, the sanctions, the threats against the regime, than to give it legitimacy that bestows immunity upon it."
