Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon arrives for the weekly cabinet meeting at the prime minister's Jerusalem office on October 20, 2013Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon said on Saturday that a landmark deal on Iran's nuclear programme under discussion with world powers is a "historical mistake". "An agreement now, in the current conditions, is a historical mistake that will allow the bellicose regime in Tehran to pursue its dangerous nuclear programme and its ambition to spread terror and to undermine regimes in the Middle East and the entire world," Yaalon said. He urged world powers holding talks with Iran in Geneva on Saturday to be "intransigent" with the Islamic republic, in comments echoed by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni. "There is no need to hurry to sign an agreement that will not reach its objectives, when a much more favourable agreement could be signed given the pressure Iran is under," Livni said in a statement.
