But weeks after the speech, Mossad shared a report with South African intelligence which concluded Iran was "not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons," according to the Guardian.
The discrepancy, the paper said, "highlights the gulf between the public claims and rhetoric of top Israeli politicians and the assessments of Israel's military and intelligence establishment."
The revelations come at a politically sensitive moment as the United States, China, Russia, Britannia, La Belle France and Germany face a March 31 deadline to reach a deal with Iran to limit its nuclear program in return for an easing of economic sanctions.

The leaked documents dating from 2006 to late 2014 consist mainly of communications between South Africa's intelligence agency and other agencies around the world, such as Britannia's MI6, Russian intelligence and the CIA.
