Netanyahu: Iran’s breach of uranium cap marks ‘significant step’ toward nuke

(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of taking a “significant step” toward producing a nuclear weapon Monday, after Iran said it had exceeded the amount of enriched uranium it is allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal.

Netanyahu said Iran’s announcement that it now holds over 300 kilograms of low-enriched uranium was proof that Iranian leaders have lied over their nuclear intentions, and, called on European countries to sanction Tehran.

“When we exposed the secret Iranian nuclear archive [in April 2018], we proved that any nuclear agreement with Iran is built on one big lie. Now even Iran acknowledges this,” Netanyahu said at an event honoring Israeli reservists. “Soon will be revealed additional proofs that Iran has been lying this whole time.” [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]

The recovery, which began in July 2009, turned 10 years old Monday, marking the longest stretch of economic expansion in modern U.S. history.

After unemployment peaked at 10 percent in October 2009, the decade-long recovery drove the unemployment rate down to near record lows — 3.6 percent as of June. The economy has added jobs in every month since October 2010, while GDP growth has stayed solid, if not always remarkable, throughout the past 10 years. [ Source: The Hill (Read More…) ]

Israeli Intelligence Chief Says Mossad Must Lead the Way in ‘One-Time’ Opportunity to Oust Iran

by Jordan Hilger, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – Israel’s Mossad chief is coming out saying the Middle East has a “one-time opportunity” to eliminate Iranian aggression in the region, with the U.S., Israel, and Saudi Arabia, in addition to smaller Gulf Arab states, all aligned against the Islamic republic’s “thuggish behavior.”

Yossi Cohen, who is said to rarely make public appearances, spoke at the IDC Herzliya College conference near Tel Aviv, and disclosed that recent efforts to establish speaking terms between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Gulf country of Oman, for example, had been largely the covert work of the Mossad.

“Open channels of communication with Israel” among “an expanding group of responsible, serious countries” all committed to reducing Iranian proxy activity and preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, Cohen said, constituted “a rare opportunity, perhaps for the first time in Middle East history, to arrive at a regional understanding that would lead to a comprehensive peace accord.”

Cohen said that the Mossad had designated a special task force to harness the peacemaking potential among the countries currently aligned against Iran, many of whom had had assets injured in the recent oil tanker attacks in the Gulf of Oman, by saying it was “the Mossad’s role to lead this effort” to eradicate Iranian hegemony from the region.

Iran broke the first term of the 2015 nuclear accord Monday, going beyond its stipulated 661-pound uranium stockpile, the acquisition of a nuclear bomb by Iran an outcome Cohen said: “the world must not allow…to happen.”
