(State Department) Responding to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's revelation Monday of Iran's atomic archive, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said, "The documents obtained by Israel from inside of Iran show beyond any doubt that the Iranian regime was not telling the truth....The documents show that Iran had a secret nuclear weapons program for years. Iran sought to develop nuclear weapons and missile delivery systems." "They lied to the IAEA repeatedly. They also lied about their program to the six nations who negotiated the Iran nuclear deal. What this means is the deal...was built on Iran's lies. Iran's nuclear deception is inconsistent with Iran's pledge in the nuclear deal 'that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop, or acquire any nuclear weapons.'"
