Netanyahu repeats unsubstantiated Iran bomb claim
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his claim that Iran was on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb to wipe out Israel, and that Israel's military campaign against Iran last year and this year prevented that from happening. He warned that without those efforts, Israel would not exist. However, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Israeli officials and independent experts confirmed that Iran did not possess sufficient nuclear materials or facilities to produce a nuclear weapon, and that the International Atomic Energy Agency's reports did not establish the existence of an ready-made bomb. An Israeli official with access to intelligence information dismissed Netanyahu's claims as "lies," pointing out that Iran was still far from developing a nuclear weapon, and that an attack on Iran was a U.S. decision amid failed negotiations. This decision was based on intelligence indicating that Iran was planning a surprise attack, not as a result of genuine nuclear advancement.
