Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, says the US-Iran agreement is “very bad” for Israel, the United States and Gulf nations, Al Jazeera reports.

In comments to Israel’s Channel 14, Danon said that by trying to end the negotiating process as quickly as possible, President Trump allowed Iran to “improve” its position.

“But we have to wait. There is no decision yet — only a framework for the continuation [of negotiations],” he says.
