The Obama administration will not surrender to growing pressure from Israel and some politicians inside the United States regarding the recent nuclear deal with Iran, an analyst says.<\/p>\n
�œThere are some voices in America that track telescope the Geneva accord to a complete disposition of Iran�™s right to enrich uranium and to extract new concessions from Iran in the next six months of negotiations for the final agreement,” Kaveh Afrasiabi told Press TV on Saturday.<\/p>\n
�œThere is some unhealthy pressure that could derail the process in addition to the Israeli pressure,” he added.<\/p>\n
On November 24, a six-month accord was sealed in Geneva between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council — the US, Britain, Russia, France and China — plus Germany.<\/p>\n
US allies in the Middle East, Israel in particular, fear that the �œhistoric” deal will pave Iran�™s path to even greater regional power.<\/p>\n
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said uranium enrichment is a right not banned under international law and Tehran will never stop the activity inside the country.<\/p>\n
�œHopefully, the US government will refrain itself from moving in that direction which of course constitutes Iran�™s red line that cannot be crossed,” the analyst said.<\/p>\n
After the deal was announced in Geneva, US President Barack Obama spoke by phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to assuage his concerns.<\/p>\n
Obama reassured Netanyahu that the United States �œwill remain firm in our commitment to Israel, which has good reason to be skeptical about Iran�™s intentions.”<\/p>\n
