Israel's position on Iran "unrealistic" - Pushkov

MOSCOW. Nov 25 (Interfax) - The position Israel has assumed on the Sextet's agreement with Iran reflects its security concerns, but does not look realistic, said chairman of the State Duma's International Affairs Committee Alexei Pushkov.

"I think, Israel is in fact being guided by a maximalistic position, which boils down to the belief that Iran must be denied everything, even the right to create a nuclear energy industry of its own. I don't think Iran can be denied this right," Pushkov told Interfax on Sunday.

All the countries that had been involved in drafting this agreement, share this opinion, he said.

"No other compromise would have been possible, in my opinion. Israel's position reflects its security concerns, but does not look realistic," he said.
