1. The trove of Iranian documents obtained by Israeli intelligence proves that Iran has lied to the world about its nuclear program, according to a statement by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

“The documents obtained by Israel from inside of Iran show beyond any doubt that the Iranian regime was not telling the truth,” Pompeo said. “The documents show that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program for years.”

In an April 30 television appearance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented what he said were Iranian documents obtained in a daring Israeli intelligence operation that prove Iran had been developing nuclear weapons before the 2015 deal that it signed with the United States and world powers.
