UK’s Cameron Reassures Israel, Saudi: N. Deal Doesn’t Mean Aligning with Iran

British Prime Minister David Cameron said a landmark nuclear deal with Iran does not represent an alignment with Tehran, in an apparent move to reassure the Zionist entity and Saudi Arabia over the agreement.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said a landmark nuclear deal with Iran does not represent an alignment with Tehran, in an apparent move to reassure the Zionist entity and Saudi Arabia over the agreement.

"By signing this deal, Britain is not aligning with Iran," Cameron said in an interview with news channel Al Arabiya on Friday, according to a transcript released by his Downing Street office.

British Prime Minister David Cameron"By signing this deal, Britain -- with allies including America, Germany, France, Russia and China -- what we're doing is taking Iran away from a nuclear weapon.
"That is good for the region, that is good for regional stability, but we're not aligning with Iran."

The nuclear accord was struck in Vienna this week after almost two years of negotiations which culminated in a final 18-day stretch of virtually round-the-clock talks.

Cameron's Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond was in Israel last week where he met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has called the deal with Israel's arch-foe a "historic mistake.”
