P5+1 assess changes in Tehran's rhetoric too positively - Israeli diplomat

MOSCOW. Feb 11 (Interfax) - Softening the rhetoric of the current Iranian authorities regarding Israel in comparison with the stance of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has caused too positive a reaction from the P5+1 of mediators on resolving the Iranian nuclear program, the Israeli Foreign Ministry's Eurasia Department Head Anna Azari said.

"A slight change of the Iranian authorities' rhetoric has led to a much more positive reaction of the P5+1 than it deserves," Azari said in an interview with Interfax.

The P5+1 of the international mediators on settling the Iranian nuclear program includes Russia, the United States, France, the UK, China, and Germany.
