JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel responded sceptically to the extension of Iranian nuclear talks with world powers on Saturday, saying it saw no cause for the optimism voiced by some Western diplomats about prospects for an accord.

After failing to meet a July 20 deadline for a deal, international negotiators agreed to allow four more months for their high-stakes talks and let Iran access $2.8 billion (1.63 billion pounds) of its cash frozen abroad during that period, though most sanctions against it stayed in place.
