"Israel will not accept an agreement which allows a country that vows toannihilate us todevelop nuclear weapons, period," the Israeli leader added.

He said that ina few years, the restrictions onIran's nuclear program underthe deal would be removed thus enabling Iran tohave a "massive enrichment capacity" that could be used byTehran toproduce many nuclear bombs withinseveral months.
