EU diplomat says revelations on Iran shows nuclear deal needed

A European diplomat says that while Netanyahu’s revelations that Iran lied about its nuclear ambitions before signing a 2015 deal with world powers hurt Tehran’s standing, it is the reason why the EU wants to preserve the 2015 accord.

“All of this obviously raises some questions regarding Iran’s credibility,” a European diplomat tells The Times of Israel after Netanyahu’s press conference. “But we made the nuclear deal precisely because we don’t trust the Iranians, not because we considered them very trustworthy.”

— Raphael Ahren
