Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed “nothing new†in his dramatic briefing on “Iran’s secret nuclear files,†according to foreign policy advisers from former President Barack Obama’s administration.
“For those who have followed the Iranian nuclear file, there is nothing new in [Netanyahu’s] presentation,†Robert Malley, a former National Security Council senior director who helped negotiate the Iran deal, tweeted Monday. “All it does is vindicate need for the nuclear deal.â€
Netanyahu displayed documents that he said were stolen by Israeli intelligence officials from Tehran, providing a window into the regime’s illicit nuclear weapons research. The cache showed that Iran had lied to Western powers after the 2003 invasion of Iraq, as well as to international monitors responsible for overseeing compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, about the nature and extent of its nuclear weapons program.
