BIBI’S BOMBSHELL: Israeli PM ‘HAS EVIDENCE’ Iran Violating Nuclear Deal

While relying on his trademark use of visual aids, Netanyahu claimed that the material showed that Iran can not be trusted, and encouraged President Donald Trump to withdraw from the global deal with Iran next month. “Tonight I’m here to tell you one thing: Iran lied”.

After signing the nuclear deal in 2015, Iran “intensified its efforts to hide its secret files. moving them to a highly secret location in Tehran in 2017”. “One hundred thousand secret files prove it did”. European counterparts had been being made conscious Monday previous to the speech.

Iran is the foremost Shi’ite Muslim power in the Middle East. Israel has courted better ties with Sunni Muslim Arab states that also oppose Iranian influence. He also spoke by phone to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Iran has repeatedly denied seeking nuclear weapons.

Before the announcement, Netanyahu canceled a speech at Parliament and convened an emergency meeting of his security cabinet at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

He warned that the JCPOA deal, if not changed, “gives them the three elements required for creating nuclear weapons of mass destruction: – unlimited enrichment in a few years, ballistic missiles, and it fails to address the secret nuclear bomb program and its advanced work on nuclear weaponization”.

Iran denied the allegations, highlighting that there is no evidence it violated the 2015 deal. “We’ll see what happens”, Trump said shortly after Netanyahu concluded his presentation. The statement was released after Macron called Putin to inform him of his talks with Trump in the United States. He charged that Iran had continued to carry out research and development in areas ostensibly prohibited by the nuclear deal, such as metallurgy and MPI technology. He’s directed the administration to try and fix it, and if we can’t fix it, he’s going to withdraw from the deal.

Pompeo had noted earlier on Sunday that Trump remains undecided about whether the United States would leave the deal.

Under the deal, which led to the lifting of most global sanctions in 2016, Iran’s level of enrichment must remain around 3.6 percent. He said the documents had been kept in “massive safes” and that it has all five elements of a nuclear weapons programme. In a readout posted on Iran’s official government website, he was quoted as saying Iran won’t accept additional restrictions and that the deal is “by no means negotiable”.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif spent the hours leading up to the speech attempting to take the wind out of Netanyahu’s sails, tweeting an image of the prime minister’s infamous 2012 speech at the UN General Assembly, saying “you can only fool some of the people many times”.
