The lifting of sanctions in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program means billions of dollars will flow into Iran.
Israeli leaders have long threatened military action against Iran if they deem diplomacy in Vienna to be deadlocked and fail to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The fears of the Zionist regime were conveyed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
“Israel is very afraid about its readiness to remove sanctions and allow the flow of billions (of dollars) into Iran in return for unsatisfactory curbs on the nuclear field,” Bennett said in a televised cabinet meeting.
“This is a message that we convey in every way, whether to America or to any other country that is negotiating with Iran,” he said. Reuters, Tuesday (30/11/2021).
Negotiators began convening in Vienna on Monday (11/29/2021) in a last-ditch effort to salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which was “betrayed” by the United States under President Donald Trump in 2018, which reimposed sanctions on Iran.
Trump’s move led to Tehran’s breach of the deal, and to the dismay of other world powers involved in the deal.
Iran has repeatedly insisted that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and that its policies prohibit the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons. However, Israel, which is reported to have nuclear weapons, remains concerned that Tehran will build an atomic bomb especially when its uranium enrichment continues to increase.
