Netanyahu Claims, Without Evidence, Iran Violated 2015 Nuclear Deal

HeadlineMay 01, 2018

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of lying about its efforts to build a nuclear weapon, only days before President Trump is slated to decide whether to pull the U.S. out of the landmark Iran nuclear deal. On Monday, Netanyahu unveiled what he claimed were a trove of stolen Iranian nuclear plans that he says prove Iran has violated the 2015 nuclear deal. Multiple experts and analysts immediately disputed Netanyahu’s claims, saying he provided no evidence that Iran has violated the nuclear agreement. The International Atomic Energy Agency published a statement this morning saying it has found no credible indications of nuclear development in Iran after 2009. A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign minister called Netanyahu an “infamous liar” and said his claims were “ridiculous propaganda.” On Monday night, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to answer whether the Trump administration considered the documents evidence Iran has violated the nuclear deal.
