World President Trump Tells John Kerry: 'Stay Away' From Iran Nuclear Deal

What Netanyahu Did and Didn't Say About Iran's Nuclear Program

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech Monday he billed as showing “something that the world has never seen.” He vowed to provide evidence of Iran’s duplicity over its nuclear program, and especially its obligations to the nuclear agreement Tehran signed in 2015 with the world’s powers. But much of the speech concerned details of Iran’s covert nuclear program from the years 1999 to 2003, and it provided no smoking-gun evidence that those programs were continuing in violation of the deal—something that would have given the Trump administration the justification it might be looking for to withdraw from it.

How Iran Hopes to Counter-Punch Trump

Iranian officials have said Iran has prepared any number of responses, including resuming its nuclear program as before. But that’s not likely to be their first play.Although the minutes of the SNSC meetings are never made public, those with a seat in the circle of power—including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei—are well known, and their pronouncements offer diplomats, spies, and scholars clues as what Iran will do if Trump steps back from the 2015 deal.

Kerry cautioned that a “new arms race” was taking place and endangering other weapons reduction treaties.

Kerry spoke on Tuesday in Milan, ahead of Trump’s planned announcement on whether to pull America out of the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

Kerry told a conference on food innovation that “dangerously, we find ourselves today with certain individuals who are talking about a new arms race,” and that the money it will cost “should be going to health and going to building schools and going to building infrastructures and building the future, instead building weapons.”

He said the moves were putting at risk both the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that ended the U.S.-Soviet arms race.
