What Netanyahu Did and Didn't Say About Iran's Nuclear Program
What Israel’s prime minister included in his presentation is as striking as what he left out.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a Monday that he billed as showing “something that the world has never seen.” He vowed to provide evidence of Iran’s duplicity over its nuclear program, and especially its obligations to the nuclear agreement Tehran signed in 2015 with the world’s powers. But much of the speech concerned details of Iran’s covert nuclear program from the years 1999 to 2003, and it provided no smoking-gun evidence that those programs were continuing in violation of the deal—something that would have given Donald Trump’s administration the justification it might be looking for to withdraw from it.
