Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stepped up pressure on the United States to pull out of a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, holding a prime-time address on Israeli TV to present what he called evidence of a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program. "Iran lied about never having a nuclear weapons program," he said. Second, even after the deal, Iran continued to preserve and expand its nuclear weapons knowledge for future use," Netanyahu said. 'No new and credible evidence'Tehran has denied ever seeking nuclear weapons and accuses its arch-foe Israel of stirring up world suspicions against it. Netanyahu is telling us something we already knew -- that Iran had a nuclear weapons program.
