Iran reacts sharply to Netanyah following charges of secret nuclear weapons programme

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said the charges are useless and shameful “”.

The “Acuses come from a notorious liar who has nothing to offer but fraud”, Ghasemi said, referring to Netanyah.

“Netanyah and the syonist regime, notorious, child-killing, should know that people in the world have sufficient consciousness and knowledge”, Ghasemi added.

Netanyahu said on Monday in a televised presentation that he has “that” that Iran has a hidden nuclear weapons programme.

But he did not say that there is evidence that Israel's main enemy has actively worked to create atomic weapons since the 2015 agreement between Tehran and six world powers.

With this agreement, Iran has agreed to curb its nuclear activity in exchange for easing international sanctions.

Netanyah's charges come at a time when the U.S. is considering whether to withdraw from the nuclear agreement or not.

Iran has consistently denied its intention to create nuclear weapons, saying its atomic programme has only civilian purposes.
