Jerusalem - Israel warned on Friday that a framework deal with the West over Iran's controversial nuclear programme was "very dangerous," accusing Tehran of seeking an atomic weapon. 

"This framework (agreement) is a step in a very, very dangerous direction," government spokesman Mark Regev told journalists, adding that Iran's "single goal" behind the accord was to build a nuclear bomb. 

Iran and Western powers struck an outline agreement in Switzerland Thursday paving the way for Tehran to curtail its nuclear activity in exchange for relief from punishing economic sanctions.
