Top White House officials have revealed that the apartheid Israeli regime began to spy on the closed-door nuclear negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 group last year in order to sink an agreement and encourage terrible war.
Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: Current and former American officials told the Wall Street Journal the spying operation was part of a campaign by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 'The Baby Butcher' Netanyahu to “penetrate the negotiations and then help build a case against the emerging terms of the deal.”
The newspaper reported on Monday Israel was spying on the talks by eavesdropping and getting information from confidential US briefings, informants and diplomatic contacts in Europe.
According to the US officials, Israel shared information from the talks with American lawmakers and others to drain support from a nuclear agreement.
“It is one thing for the US and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal US secrets and play them back to US legislators to undermine US diplomacy,” an unnamed senior American official was quoted as saying by the Wall Street Journal.
American intelligence agencies learned Israel’s espionage operation when they intercepted communications among Israeli officials that carried details from the confidential talks.
However, Israel denied spying on the negotiation team of the Obama administration directly.
Tel Aviv has been persistent to undermine the talks and prevent a nuclear deal between Tehran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the US, Britain, Russia, China, France – plus Germany (P5+1 group).
Netanyahu travelled to the United States earlier this month and delivered a warning speech to the US Congress to stop a potential agreement.
On Monday, 367 members of the House of Representatives signed a letter, telling President Barack Obama that any nuclear accord must constrain Iran's nuclear program for “decades” before Congress will roll back sanctions.
"A final comprehensive nuclear agreement must constrain Iran's nuclear infrastructure,” the letter said.
In any agreement, “Congress must be convinced that its terms foreclose any pathway to a bomb, and only then will Congress be able to consider permanent sanctions relief,” according to the letter.
Netanyahu’s efforts to sabotage the nuclear negotiations have angered President Obama.
Obama said the re-election of Netanyahu would not affect his support for any possible deal with Iran.
"Our goal is to get this done in a matter of weeks, not months," Obama said in an interview with the Huffington Post.
