Iran's 'Secret Nuclear Files'

Experts find nothing new in Israel's claim

AFP, CNN
On a makeshift stage in Israel's Ministry of Defense, a high-walled, heavily guarded complex in the heart of Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's show was about to begin.
After a technical snafu that required two wireless microphones before it was sorted out, Netanyahu revealed his first slide in a dramatic multimedia presentation, displayed on a screen that dwarfed the Israeli leader.
An image of an Iranian flag and a nuclear symbol framed the title page: “Atomic Archive: Iran’s Secret Nuclear Files."
Moments later, as Netanyahu worked through video clips from Iranian leaders, two words popped up on screen in letters that were half as tall as the Prime Minister:" Iran lied."
Netanyahu's show - and it was a show, broadcast live in prime-time and carried on CNN and other American cable networks - was in full swing.
"Tonight, we are going to reveal new and conclusive proof of the secret nuclear weapons program that Iran has been hiding for years from the
international community in its secret atomic archive.”
The prime ministerwalked over to two large display cases on stage and pulled down the black sheets that hid their contents.
This was Netanyahu's mother lode. This is what he wanted to show the world.
A wall of gleaming CDs containing 55,000 files purportedly from Iran's nuclear archive. And a cabinet of color-coded binders with another 55,000 pages allegedly from the same archive.
But does the new evidence suggest Iran violated the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA?
Nonproliferation experts who spoke with CNN say Netanyahu provided no evidence that Iran contravened the terms of the agreement. Moreover, they say there was nothing new in Netanyahu's speech. And the other signatories to the JCPOA, with the notable exception of America, agree with that assessment.
"There's nothing new in the material that Netanyahu revealed yesterday. All of it was information that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) already had and has already commented on," said Mark Fitzpatrick, executive director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies and an expert on nonproliferation.
Echoing Fitzpatrick is Jeffrey Lewis, another nonproliferation expert and scholar the Middlebury Institute of International Studies. "Everything Netanyahu said from the name of that (Iranian nuclear development] plan down to the fine details was described in the IAEA's final report about Iran's nuclear weapons program, so there was nothing new about the scope of that program."
Both experts agreed on the most surprising element of Netanyahu's presentation - that Israel had managed to acquire what appeared to be a large portion of Iran's nuclear archive in what Netanyahu called one of the country's greatest "intelligence achievements."
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo endorsed the authenticity of the materials.
