Israel has shared a haul of secret files showing Iran’s determination to build a nuclear bomb with Britain’s secret services, ahead of this week’s visit by Prime Minister Binyamin’s Netanyahu’s to the UK.
The move is designed to increase the pressure on the UK and its European partners to scrap the nuclear deal with Tehran.
One of the documents, according to The Times, amongst the cache of 100,000 files taken from a warehouse by Mossad agents in Tehran in January is said to be a memo that has the responsibility for producing weapons-grade uranium to Iran’s defence ministry.
Mr Netanyahu is expected to use the finds from the files to make the case to Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday that the deal with Tehran has been based on a false pledge from Iran that it never pursued a nuclear weapons programme.
