Statement by Intelligence Minister Dr. Yuval Steinitz
(Communicated by the Intelligence Minister's Media Adviser)

Intelligence Minister Dr. Yuval Steinitz, today (Monday, 13 April 2015),
released the following statement:

"Even as Iran disavows article after article in the framework agreement that
was announced last week, the international community is beginning to ease
restrictions on it.

This is the direct result of the legitimacy that Iran is receiving from the
nuclear deal being made with it. This also proves that the economic momentum
in Iran that will come in the wake of the lifting of the sanctions will be
exploited for armaments and not used for the welfare of the Iranian people.

Instead of demanding that Iran desist from the terrorist activity that it is
carrying out in the Middle East and throughout the world, it is being
allowed to arm itself with advanced weapons that will only increase its
aggression."
