Israel says Iran hid nuclear arms programme
I imagine those with a memory of Iraq will be a tad sceptical of Netanyahu's claims, even if they dislike the regime in Iran and know that Mossad is a strong intelligence agency.
One impact today has been that the price of Brent Crude has risen above the $75-a-barrel level
Quote:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed what he says are "secret nuclear files" proving Iran once covertly pursued nuclear weapons.
He said thousands of pages of material obtained by Israel showed Iran had deceived the world by denying it had ever sought nuclear weapons.
Iran agreed in 2015 to curb its nuclear energy programme in return for the lifting of sanctions.
It maintained that it had only been pursuing nuclear energy.
US President Donald Trump, who has long threatened to scrap the nuclear deal, said the situation was "not acceptable" and he would make a decision on the deal on or before 12 May.
