Israel calls out nuclear watchdog, accuses them of making 'extremely dangerous' deal with Iran
Fox News
Israel blasted the United Nations' nuclear energy watchdog for its agreement with Iran, which provides minimal monitoring of Iran's nuclear program.
The IAEA also agreed to close two investigations into aspects of Iran's nuclear program as part of the negotiations seeking a reinstallation of monitoring equipment. Israeli officials blasted that move as shortsighted. Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.

"Closing the case could have extremely dangerous consequences, and it conveys a message to the Iranians that they are not required to pay a price for their violations and that they can continue to deceive the international community on their way to achieving a full military nuclear program," a spokesman for Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.
The Israeli government ban on UNRWA over national security concerns and links to terrorism began Jan. 30. UNRWA has called the move by Jerusalem as "disastrous."
