In Netanyahu's view, the documents show Iran misled inspectors about its past pursuit of nuclear weapons in a program called Project Amad from 1999 to 2003.

There is a chance Trump might choose to keep the United States in the global pact under which Iran agreed to curb its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief, in part because of "alliance maintenance" with France and to save face for French President Emmanuel Macron, who met Trump last week and urged him to stay in, the source said. "That, to me, seems to be the biggest mistake in this process; not a simple typo that was immediately corrected and notified individuals as soon as we knew that it had happened".

He said the documents showed Iran sought nuclear weapons and hid a vast archive of information from the world and the United Nations nuclear agency. He is the first prime minister to have visited Israel twice while in office. And, in a major diplomatic faux pas Xi Jinping's government in Beijing was deemed the "Republic of China", which is actually the formal name of Taiwan, regarded as a renegade province by the People's Republic of China.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's carefully-choreographed slideshow - given Monday during USA primetime and in English - wasn't the first time President Donald Trump had heard about Israel's trove of stolen documents about Iran's nuclear program.

"The problem is that the deal was made on a completely false pretense: Iran lied on the front end", Sanders said.

Most of the purported evidence Netanyahu presented dated to the period before the 2015 accord was signed, although he said Iran had also kept important files on nuclear technology since then and continued adding to its "nuclear weapons knowledge".

In the written statement sent to reporters around 7:30 p.m. ET, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders declared that newly unveiled Israeli intelligence proved "Iran has a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program".

On National Film Awards eve, Smriti Irani in eye of presentation row
The minister claimed the format was changed at the behest of the President's office, one of the awardees said. The awards are given in three sections - feature films, non-feature films and best writing on cinema.

The two men discussed North Korea in the shadow of a possible summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The deal that was made was made on things that weren't accurate.

Trump has lambasted the nuclear agreement reached with Iran in July 2015 as the "worst deal ever".

Such attacks are considered more likely than actions that might trigger a USA military response against Iranian nuclear and military targets.

The comment comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif mocked Netanyahu's remarks on Twitter, saying that Israel's revelations came in the run-up to the Trump administration's planned announcement regarding the Iran nuclear deal on May 12.

French President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany left Washington last week after talks with Trump that failed to secure any promise to keep the deal alive.

"In line with standard IAEA practice, the IAEA evaluates all (nuclear) safeguards-relevant information available to it", said a spokesman for the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is policing the deal, in Vienna.

"The Iran nuclear deal is not based on trust about Iran's intentions; rather it is based on tough verification", he said.
