US takes swipe at Netanyahu: Sounds like he knows more about Iran deal than negotiators
[Jerusalem Post] A nuclear deal with Iran does not yet exist, and therefore Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot know what is in it, US State Department Jen Psaki said on Thursday.
"We've seen this movie before," Psaki said of skepticism from leadership in Israel over the nuclear talks.
Earlier this week Netanyahu said that the current proposal to Iran would endanger Israel.
"It would enable Iran to breakout to its first nuclear device within an unacceptably short time," Netanyahu told a gathering of American Jewish leaders in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu also said he knows the contents of a framework proposal, offered to Iran by the US, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany last month. But the Obama administration is skeptical.
Only a guess mind you, but since they've been denied access to the process, I would venture the most advanced intelligence service in the ME might insist that information on the 'framework' be a extremely 'high priority' collection requirement.
