Obama Says Israel Supports His Iran Deals, Israel Say, No We Don't



Israel on Friday bitterly rejected US President Barack Obama’s claim that its officials now support last year’s nuclear deal with Iran. 
Far from accepting Obama’s assertion, the Israeli Defense Ministry compared the year-old accord to the Munich Agreement signed by the European powers with Nazi Germany in 1938. 
Obama said Thursday that Israeli defense officials are now behind the deal signed by world powers and Iran, and that they recognize the efficacy of the accord. 
“The Israeli defense establishment believes that agreements have value only if they are based on the existing reality, but they have no value if the facts on the ground are the complete opposite of those the deal is based upon,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

FireRescue1: Video: Massive parking lot fire destroys over 400 vehicles
Over 160 firefighters responded to the music festival parking lot blaze in Portugal

CASTELO DE VIDE, Portugal — A massive fire spread across the parking lot of a music festival in Portugal and destroyed 422 vehicles, authorities said.

The fire started around 3 p.m. Wednesday, forcing 4,000 concertgoers to evacuate the venue.

No victims were reported, says the Portugal News.

The response effort included 160 firefighters, 62 support vehicles and four helicopters dousing fire-retardant chemicals over the lot.

Despite its massive size, firefighters took just under an hour to control the 118-acre fire.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
