In response to the announced nuclear fuel exchange deal between Iran and Turkey, the Forum of Seven cabinet minister convened in Israel on erev Shavuos to discuss the new development. Officials fear the announced draft agreement may further delay crippling economic sanctions against Iran, sanctions that Israeli officials insist must include cutting off all fuel imports and exports in Iran.

A deal was announced by which Tehran and Turkey will exchange 1200kg of fuel, with Iran hopeful this move will assist in thwarting off a new round of sanctions.
