Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has met out to his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to update him on the recent developments of the nuclear deal. A statement from Netanyahu’s media advisor on Friday said the Israeli Prime Minister spoke to three key international leaders, including Modi, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and British Prime Minister Theresa May, to discuss regional issues.
Netanyahu had earlier reported that he would share the archive of more than 100,000 documents said to have been gained by Israel’s espionage agency Mossad from a Tehran warehouse, which allegedly proves Iran’s past clandestine efforts to assemble nuclear weapons.
Intelligence professionals from London, Paris and Berlin are coming to Jerusalem later this week to verify the material Israel presented, he said.
The Israeli Premier spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel to update them about the Mossad’s findings on Monday.
In a daring operation, Mossad agents are said to have managed to obtain and smuggle into Israel 55,000 paper documents and 183 CDs with another 55,000 documents from what looked like a “dilapidated warehouse” in Tehran earlier this year.
Israel has expressed hope that the “irrefutable findings” would help shore up international community’s longstanding suspicion that the Islamic Republic was investing great efforts in building a nuclear weapon.
There has been speculation in the Israeli media that close ally United States will pull out of the Iranian nuclear deal on May 12 and impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic “based on the reactions coming from Washington on the proof gathered by Mossad”.

The Iran nuclear deal framework was a preliminary framework agreement reached in 2015 between the Islamic Republic of Iran and a group of world powers – P5+1 (meaning the five permanent members of the UNSC and Germany) and the European Union.
Some critics have downplayed the claims by Israel and termed Netanyahu’s press conference “theatrical” arguing that the existence of Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons programme was already known and detailed in an IAEA report from 2011.
Israeli officials have refuted such critics saying that the world now has much more detailed knowledge of what went on there with “evidence of a whole different level”.
