world-regions will not be bound by a new nuclear deal with Iran, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Tuesday.
“We hope the world does not blink, but if it does, we do not intend to. We stand at the outset of a complex period,” Bennett added.
The remarks came ahead of talks next week in Vienna, Austria, with the parties to the 2015 nuclear deal.

His goal: to get greater access from Iran to inspect nuclear sites. The inspectors have not had access to surveillance cameras in Iran’s declared nuclear facilities.
“I hope to establish a fruitful and cooperative channel of direct dialogue so the (IAEA) can resume essential verification activities in the country,” Grossi tweeted.
