Description:
In Russia, chairman of the State Duma\'s International Affairs Committee says that Israel\'s position on a nuclear deal between Iran and the P-5+1 is unrealistic. Alexei Pushkov says that Iran cannot be denied its nuclear rights and that all countries involved in drafting the deal share the same opinion. Earlier, Russian president Vladimir Putin hailed the deal between Iran and the permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany ---- which was clinched in Geneva following intensive talks. Putin called the deal a breakthrough on a decade-long nuclear standoff. He stressed that it is the first step on a long and difficult path and a step forward toward a permanent solution to the dispute over Iran\'s nuclear program.
