Highlights
- Israel claims that Tehran held onto research related to Iran's nuclear weapons program and has lied to the international community about its intentions.
- The announcement was timed to influence the United States and the European Union just days before the White House reaches a May 12 deadline to issue sanctions waivers in accordance with the terms of the Iran nuclear deal.
- Israel seeks stronger U.S. backing for its bold military moves against Iran in Syria by characterizing Tehran as unreliable and ill-intentioned.
