Former Mossad Chief: Netanyahu Lied to Congress
JERUSALEM (AP) — Before a major anti-Netanayhu rally today in Tel Aviv, former chief of Israel's Mossad spy agency on Friday rejected claims made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his contentious address to Congress about Iran's nuclear program. Dagan served as Mossad chief until January 1st, 2011.
In an interview aired on Channel 2 TV, Meir Dagan denied Netanyahu's claim that the deal under negotiation with world powers would allow Iran to create a nuclear weapon within a year or less.
"The time is longer than what he describes," Dagan said.
Dagan also rejected Netanyahu's assertion that Iran's intercontinental ballistic missile program could allow it to deliver a nuclear arsenal to "every part of the United States."
"The missiles cannot reach the U.S.," Dagan said. When asked if Netanyahu does not know that, Dagan replied: "He knows. So what?"
