PMO officials say timing of Iran presser was recommended by professionals
Responding to criticism that Netanyahu revealed the existence of the third nuclear facility in Iran one week before the elections for political reasons, officials in the Prime Minister’s Office say that professional security officials recommended that he reveal the information immediately after today’s press conference by the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who returned yesterday from Tehran.
