Iran attacks France for supporting 'Israeli position'
AFP reports Saturday Fabius said "there is an initial draft that we do not accept... As we speak, I have no certainty that we can finish up."
Fabius added further that "there are some points on which we are not satisfied," citing the "extremely prolific" Arak nuclear reactor and the question of uranium enrichment. He also expressed concerns over Iran's stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium.
Iran's spokesman of the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, strongly attacked the French PM, saying "the behaviour of the French representative in the nuclear talks shows that France is trying to blackmail" Iran.
Hosseini's colleague Esmaeel Kosari echoed his sentiment, saying Fabius's comments "express the positions of the Zionist regime [Israel], which prompts us to eye the talks with pessimism."
Meanwhile Iranian FM Zarif said Saturday "we have reached an agreement on some questions, but on others there are still disagreements.... There are differences of opinion within the P5+1 group."If there's a deal, it will be very difficult for Israel to attack unilaterally. We'd have the entire western world against us.

In the end, there will probably be a deal in spite of France - the West is hungry for Iranian oil and they want to save face regardless of how doing a compromise deal with Iran effects Israel.
Israel will have to get used to an Iranian nuclear bomb. If there is a deal, the US is going to do everything in its power to prevent Israel from blowing it up.
And Netanyahu has already shown he is not the man to stand up to Obama. An Israeli attack isn't in the cards.
