Netanyahu briefs Modi, key leaders on Iran nuke deal

JERUSALEM: Drumming up international support for his call to “fix” or “nix” the Iran nuclear deal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to update him on recentdevelopments.

Besides Modi, he spoke to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and British Prime Minister Theresa May, said a statement from Netanyahu’s media advisor on Friday.

He discussed regional issues with the world leaders and also updated them on the important material that he revealed regarding the Iranian nuclear archive, the press release stated.

Netanyahu had earlier told the media that he would share the archive of more than 100,000 documents said to have been obtained by Israel’s espionage agency Mossad from a Tehran warehouse, which allegedly proves Iran’s past clandestine efforts to assemble nuclear weapons. “The leaders of the E3 — Britain, France, and Germany — said they want to see the material. They’re very interested in seeing what we discovered,” Netanyahu told journalists in his Jerusalem office. Intelligence professionals from London, Paris and Berlin are coming to Jerusalem later this week to examine the material Israel presented, he said.
