Israel's Netanyahu says Iran stored nuclear documents after 2015 deal

Israel presented on Monday what it said was evidence that Iran had continued gathering nuclear knowledge after signing a 2015 agreement with world powers to curb it, calling on Washington to jettison the agreement.

"Iran's leaders repeatedly deny ever pursuing nuclear weapons," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a televised address carried by Israeli networks. "Tonight I'm here to tell you one thing: Iran lied."

Netanyahu referred to a secret Iranian nuclear project, codenamed "Amad", which he said had been shelved in 2003, but he said work in the field had continued.
