Israel rebuffs alleged Iranian nuclear offer
Official: P5+1 in position of strength going into latest nuke talks.
Israel urges world powers to reject a deal Iran is planning on presenting to world powers in nuclear talks in Geneva on Thursday, offering to partly cut back its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, AFP reported on Wednesday evening.
"
Israel in the last few hours has learned that a proposal will be brought before the P5+1 in Geneva in which Iran will cease all enrichment at 20 percent and slow down work on the heavy water reactor in Arak, and will receive in return the easing of sanctions," an Israeli official told AFP.
He went on to say Jerusalem considers this a bad deal, and "
will oppose it strongly."
According to the official, the P5+1 group was in a position of strength, as Western sanctions were crippling the Iranian economy.
