Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed what he claimed was “another secret nuclear site… exposed in the archives that we brought from Tehran”. “In this site”, Netanyahu contended, “Iran conducted experiments to develop nuclear weapons”, adding that “when Iran realised that we uncovered the site… they destroyed the site. They just wiped it out”. He went on to warn Iran that “Israel knows what you’re doing, Israel knows when you’re doing it and Israel knows where you’re doing it. We will continue to expose your lies”. “The only way to stop Iran’s march to the bomb, and its aggression in the region”, Netanyahu concluded, “is pressure, pressure and more pressure”. Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif took to Twitter to say that “the possessor of real nukes cries wolf – on an alleged ‘demolished’ site in Iran”.
