Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar addressed the agreement between Iran and the U.S. at the Local Government Conference. According to him, "The conduct of the U.S. at this moment regarding the Iranian issue is not good. They do not internalize who they are dealing with. The U.S. will find itself on a collision course with Israel in the near future and our response to the U.S. will not be automatic. Our security interest will dictate the military move. A U.S. agreement, in my opinion, will not solve the nuclear weapons issue and the war phase will return faster than people think."
