Iran, which denies Israeli and Western suspicions it is making nuclear arms, has repeatedly called for Israel to be questioned over its reported atomic arsenal

Iran to show proof of US nuclear aid to Israel: negotiator, Google hosted news, 11 Oct 10, (AFP) TEHRAN — Iran’s top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said on Monday that Tehran is to reveal proof of how nuclear material enriched by United States was delivered to the Islamic republic’s arch-foe Israel.“We will soon publish documents on how American enriched nuclear material was provided and transported to the Zionist regime,” Jalili said, quoted on state television’s website.
Jalili said the key question in the Muslim world was “how the Zionist regime acquired these (nuclear) weapons?”

“The Zionist regime and those who gave these weapons to the regime should answer for this.”

Israel, widely believed to be the sole but undeclared nuclear weapons power in the Middle East, has not ruled out a military strike against Iran’s atomic facilities in a bid to stop Tehran’s controversial nuclear programme.

Iran, which denies Israeli and Western suspicions it is making nuclear arms, has repeatedly called for Israel to be questioned over its reported atomic arsenal and to be pressured to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
