ISRAEL has unveiled top secret files, which it claims prove Iran is trying to secretly build a nuclear bomb, it has been been reported.
It will now use the worrying "evidence" to pile pressure on the UK and its European partners to tear up the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
One document is said to be a 2001 memo handing responsibility for the production of weapons-grade enriched uranium to Iran's defence chiefs.
It was one of 100,000 files seized from a Tehran warehouse by agents of the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, reports the Times.
The haul will be made available to the security services of Britain, France and Germany ahead of this week's European visit by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
He has made it clear he hopes to persuade the three countries to follow President Trump in withdrawing from the deal.
Israel insists newly seized documents prove Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu will use the new "findings" to try and convince PM Theresa May that the multinational accord is invalid since it is based on "lies".
Iran has always insisted it has never pursued a nuclear weapons programme, claiming it needs to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.
“What Iran told the International Atomic Energy Agency about its capacities was almost comical compared to what we have here,” said an Israeli intelligence expert who has studied the documents.
“Iran said there had only been feasibility and scientific studies but what we see is that Iran ran a fully fledged nuclear weapons programme and that it followed directions from the political levels.”

Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, is due meet Theresa May on Wednesday.
The memo shown to The Times - from the Iranian atomic energy authority to the defence ministry - authorises the military to take over the task of enriching uranium.
Some of the higher levels mentioned in the seized document are said to suggest the intention to create a nuclear weapon.
The document is signed on behalf of the Iranian army by Amir Daryaban Ali Shamkami, who is now military adviser to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

"By way of deception, thou shalt do war" Mossad's motto would suggest one be very thorough in vetting information provided by them.
ReplyDeleteIran wants the bomb. You know the drill, sign pacts to not build a bomb, get free stuff, use the free stuff to build a bomb. It's like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.
