"Israel" has no comprehensive military option against the Iranian nuclear program, former Israeli occupation Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday, in a nod to the growing Israeli concerns over the Islamic Republic developing its nuclear program.

When asked by Israeli Channel 12 about his belief over there being a "bad" nuclear deal or none at all, Olmert stressed that the "bad agreement that was in place, was better than the situation beforehand, and that is not only for me."

The question came in light of reports suggesting that the Vienna talks between Iran and major world powers on Tehran's nuclear program are nearing a positive end with the parties reaching an agreement.

"I believe I am one of the few people in Israel that know this issue and its details from the inside. I, alongside anyone who had a high ranking security position - from chiefs of staff to Mossad chief - believed that the agreement reached back then was better than the situation prior to it," Olmert revealed.

He explained that the US withdrawal from the agreement was a highly "dangerous and harmful action for Israeli security, and it mainly happened due to Netanyahu's own doings."

The former Prime Minister said the Israeli occupation had no comprehensive military option that destroys everything, "That is all talk, and when it is said, it is useless bravado. It does not indicate strength but rather weakness."

Olmert sees that the Israeli occupation must utilize all options available in a wise, responsible manner in cooperation with the United States to "have an influence, in case the agreement is signed - hopefully, it is - to make the agreement better."

He also underlined that the occupation should follow the same path it had been following in recent years, for, he alleges, the reason Iran does not possess nuclear weapons in 2022 is things carried out behind the scenes over the years, "And that is why we must carry on."

Bennett: Israeli concern over the Vienna talks.

In a briefing before a Knesset committee, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Naftali Bennett expressed Monday his concern over the Vienna talks.

"Israel" is concerned, he said. It is "not a party to the agreements" and so it is not bound by what will be agreed upon and will continue to "maintain unlimited and unrestricted freedom of action, everywhere and at all times."

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian announced Sunday the parties to the Vienna talks are close to an agreement.

"We are close to reaching a good agreement," the Iranian Minister said, hoping that the agreement would be reached as soon as possible.
