TEHRAN, Nov. 24 (MNA) US Secretary of State John Kerry appeases an infuriated Israel after Iran and six world powers seal a nuclear agreement following a marathon negotiating session in Geneva."The comprehensive agreement will make the world safer ... and Israel safer," Kerry told reporters in Geneva on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had warned Washington and its Western allies that a diplomatic deal with Tehran would be a historic blunder.
The hawkish premier loudly criticized the six-month deal, saying the world powers were giving up too much to the Islamic Republic.
Kerry said any differences between the United States and Israel on the issue of Irans nuclear program were simply a matter of "judgment" and "calculation."
The top US diplomat added that he had kept Netanyahu apprised of the state of play in the nuclear talks, which kicked off Wednesday.
"I talk to him several times a week," he said. "I talked to him in the last day about this very issue."
US President Barack Obama welcomed the historic nuclear deal as an important first step toward a comprehensive solution.
The first step allows for time and space for more talks and the deal represents a new path toward a world that is more secure, Obama said late Saturday in Washington.
A statement released by the White House also said Iran agreed to provide "increased transparency and intrusive monitoring of its nuclear program."
The interim deal allows Iran to continue its activities in its nuclear sites in the cities of Arak, Fordo, and Natanz.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the agreement also stipulates that no additional sanctions will be imposed on Iran over its nuclear energy program.
