Video - Claim: "Israeli Mossad contradicted Netanyahu on Iran nuclear programme"
Claim: "Mossad contradicted Netanyahu on Iran nuclear programme".(AlJazeera).
A secret cable obtained by Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit reveals that Mossad sent a top-secret cable to South Africa on October 22, 2012 that laid out a "bottom line" assessment of Iran's nuclear work.
It appears to contradict the picture painted by Netanyahu of Tehran racing towards acquisition of a nuclear bomb. Writing that Iran had not begun the work needed to build any kind of nuclear weapon, the Mossad cable said the Islamic Republic's scientists are "working to close gaps in areas that appear legitimate such as enrichment reactors".
Such activities, however, "will reduce the time required to produce weapons from the time the instruction is actually given". As Carl in Jerusalem says:Color me skeptical. Given Israel's generally poor relations with post-apartheid South Africa, I find it hard to believe that the Mossad would have shared meaningful assessments regarding Iran's nuclear program with that country. Read the full story here.
Update: As expected Qatar based AJE did not obtain original and authentic doc from Israel’s for spy agency.
Israeli intelligence estimates are that Iran is working to be a nuclear power – a few months away from the ability to assemble the bomb – but not capable of building it now.
More than anything, Iran wants the international community to lift the economic sanctions.
Israeli intelligence researchers know that Iran is already on the verge of becoming a nuclear threshold state. It has the know-how, technology and materials to construct the bomb in a matter of a few months or perhaps a year, if and when, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gives the order.
