Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has welcomed the failure of the world powers to conclude a nuclear deal with Iran.
According to News24, after hearing the initial reports that Monday's deadline for an accord would not be met, Netanyahu said that such a result would be better.
The deadline to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear programme was extended to the end of June after Vienna talks failed to reach a comprehensive agreement.
The P5+1 nations, including, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France and China, and Iran now hope to reach a high-level political agreement by March 1and confirm the full technical details of the agreement by July 1.
The six nations accuse Iran of building nuclear weapons under the pretense of developing its nuclear capabilities for civilian purposes. They want Tehran to curb its nuclear ambitions in return for the lifting of United Nations sanctions.
