U.S. Denies Existence of "Secret Document" on Iran
(JTA/Times of Israel) The U.S. State Department denied that a "secret document" in the Iran nuclear deal will enable the Islamic Republic to develop nuclear weapons in just over 10 years. Responding to a report Monday by the Associated Press describing such a document, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement, "There is no secret document or secret deal." According to Toner's statement, the document "appears to be Iran's long term enrichment Resarch and Development plan that was submitted by Iran to the [International Atomic Energy Agency] as part of its initial Additional Protocol declaration." While the document is "not public," it "was closely reviewed by the [powers that negotiated the deal] and Iran" and its content made "available to Congress on multiple occasions."
