Trump to cite Netanyahu revelations of Iran nuke archive — report

Just two hours before US President Donald Trump’s expected announcement that the US is reinstating some of the sanctions lifted under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, the Washington Post is reporting that he will use Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s April 30 revelations about Iran’s nuclear archive in his statement.

“In his announcement, Trump is expected to describe the action as one element of a tougher position on Iran, although it remained unclear whether he will propose any additional policy elements to deal with Iran’s regional activities and ballistic missiles,” the Post reports.

“He will cite Iranian documents about a 1990s-era covert nuclear weapons project as proof that Iran lied about the extent of its program, two people familiar with discussions about the decision said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled the documents last week.”
