Netanyahu: Iran Shares Nuclear Secrets with NK

Local Editor

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran is sharing nuclear technology with North Korea.

This comes as Tehran and world powers hold talks aimed at ending a decade-old standoff.

Netanyahu, who is in Japan this week for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, said Iran "would share whatever technology it acquired with North Korea," the Mainichi Shimbun reported in a front-page piece.

Asked if Pyongyang is receiving technologies linked to nuclear and missile development from Iran, Netanyahu said: "Yes, that's exactly the case."

Late Tuesday, during a meeting with Kishida, Netanyahu called both Iran and North Korea "rogue" states.
"We see a danger and a challenge posed by a rogue state arming itself with nuclear weapons. In your case it's North Korea," he said.
Netanyahu further said: "We are faced with such a rogue state in the form of Iran and its quest to develop nuclear weapons."

"Iran continues to deceive the world and advance its nuclear program," he claimed.
Moreover, the "Israeli" PM mentioned: "If the international community wants to avoid the specter of nuclear terrorism, they must assure that Iran... not have the capability to develop nuclear weapons."
