Speaking to international reporters on Sunday, Mr. Netanyahu pushed back against critics who said a trove of pilfered Iranian documents he revealed last week had showed nothing new. Mr. Netanyahu also dismissed experts who said the documents just proved why a deal was necessary. “A deal that enables Iran to keep and hide all its nuclear weapons know-how is a horrible deal,” he said. In fact, it does the very opposite,” Mr. Netanyahu said. The Israeli government argues for the re-imposition of economic sanctions on Tehran, which it says would serve to curb not only Iran’s nuclear ambitions, but also its power in the Middle East.
