US Intel Officials Publicly Contradict Netanyahu’s UN Speech On “New” Iran Atomic Facility<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Netanyahu’s Thursday UN General Assembly speech predictably included the familiar props and\u00a0visuals condemning Iran over\u00a0what the Israeli prime minister says is a continuing nuclear program it is\u00a0hiding from the world’s view.<\/p>\n

Like pretty much all prior Netanyahu speeches focusing on Iran, he held up a physical “evidence” to illustrate his points as he spoke\u00a0\u2014 <\/em>this time it was a “proof” that Iran has yet another secret warehouse holding nuclear-related material in the form of an\u00a0aerial photograph of the Iranian capital marked with a red arrow pointing to a large building.<\/p>\n

Though this was perhaps a step up from the cartoon bomb performance at the UNGA in 2012, the act is now a fixture\u00a0and\u00a0entirely predictable after many others spanning years, barely eliciting much media excitement compared to six years ago.<\/p>\n

But unlike the last number of similar speeches, US intelligence officials have told Reuters<\/em><\/a>\u00a0that the claims are not true<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jerusalem Post: “Netanyahu has made a name for himself as the “prop master,” using visual aids to underline his message.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am disclosing for the first time that Iran has another secret facility in Tehran, a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and materiel from Iran\u2019s secret nuclear program,\u201d<\/strong> Netanyahu said as if breathlessly leading a breaking news press conference.<\/p>\n

He said the site had previously held some\u00a015 kilograms (33 pounds) of radioactive material that has since been moved in a curiously specific claim that would now seem very hard if not\u00a0impossible to prove\u00a0\u2014 <\/em>given that… well it’s all been moved according to the claims. He called on the UN atomic agency to initiative immediate inspection with Geiger counters.<\/p>\n
