Why is Israel nervous about the Iran nuclear agreement?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Earlier this week, Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli minister for strategic affairs, has threatened to take military action against Iran in the wake of the recent understanding reached between Tehran and six  powers.

The development comes less than a week after Iran and the P5+1 states – the US, France, Britain, Russia and China plus Germany – issued a joint statement at the end of eight days of sensitive nuclear negotiations in the Swiss city of Lausanne on April 2

This is while Netanyahu has claimed that the Tel Aviv regime “will not allow Iran to become a nuclear power,” according to Steinitz.

He also called for a nuclear-free Middle East despite the fact that Israel is widely reported to be the only possessor of nuclear warheads in the region and does not allow any international inspection of its nuclear facilities.
