Less than 24 hours after missiles struck an Iranian base in Aleppo and Hama in Syria, presumably by Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed several documents that he says prove that Tehran is still pursuing its nuclear ambitions. Diplomatic sources said the latest developments signal the gathering of clouds of an imminent Israeli-Iranian war. Russia has however been exerting efforts to contain such a possible confrontation and to prevent it from developing into a wide regional war. On Sunday, Syrian regime forces said rockets had struck several military bases in the Hama and Aleppo countryside in what it said was new “aggression” by its enemies. A day later, Netanyahu unveiled “new and conclusive proof", compiled in thousands of documents and files, of a secret nuclear weapons program that Iran has been hiding for years from the international community. Speaking in front of reporters from the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, the PM said: “Iran lied big time, when it signed the nuclear deal in 2015.” “Iran is brazenly lying when it says it never had a nuclear weapons program.” Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump, who has until May 12 to decide whether to walk away from the nuclear deal, wrote on his twitter account Monday that he did not rule out talks on a new nuclear deal with Tehran. Separately, Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, the spokesperson for the Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy admitted the killing of a number of Revolutionary Guards members in the missile attack on Hama and Aleppo. He refused however to confirm the exact number of casualties, saying that Syria should instead announce the number.
