Over the weekend, several prominent U.S. newspapers featured stories on the Iranian nuclear weapons program, just before U.S. President Donald Trump’s summit Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The stories sprang from an Israeli decision to share some of the material ferreted from Tehran by the Mossad (Israel’s secret service) last January. Israeli Intelligence officials briefed U.S. reporters on the significance of the find and what it means for the future, according to reports in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Washington Post.
