Mossad cables hardly contradict Netanyahu on Iran
JERUSALEM (Worthy News)– Leaked memo dovetails with Netanyahu’s assertion on Tehran’s nuclear program, straying only in describing its progress rate, the Times of Israel reported.
Leaked memo dovetails with PM’s assertion on Tehran’s nuclear program, straying only in describing its progress rate. Used in a sentence, it might look like this: “Leaked cables show Netanyahu’s Iran bomb claim contradicted by Mossad” – which is fine in terms of usage, at least in the condensed prose of headlines, but only partially supported by the evidence provided by The Guardian and Al-Jazeera.
The two media outlets on Monday published a “secret” memo from the Mossad to its South African counterpart, the State Security Agency. The Guardian underscored this fragment of a sentence: “Iran at this time is not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons…” and claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “inflammatory rhetoric” and “alarmist tone” in describing the threat emanating from Tehran were directly at odds with the Mossad’s allegedly far more sanguine assessment. — [wp_colorbox_media url=”http://www.timesofisrael.com/mossad-cables-prove-hardly-contradictory/” type=”iframe” hyperlink=”Source”]
