President Donald Trump has praised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s presentation of documents that Netanyahu says show Iran lied about pursuing nuclear weapons.
Trump said Monday the presentation and other recent events show that Trump has been “100 percent right” about Iran.
He says he watched part of Netanyahu’s presentation and that it was “good.” Trump says Iran’s behavior is “just not an acceptable situation.” He pointed to missile tests, saying Iran is “not sitting back idly.”
Trump has declined to say whether he will withdraw the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear deal. But he says if the U.S. does pull out, he still may negotiate a “real agreement.”
Trump says the U.S. “got nothing” for the sanctions relief granted Iran under the accord.

Statement by the Press Secretary on Israel’s Announcement Related to Iranian Nuclear Weapons Development:
“The United States is aware of the information just released by Israel and continues to examine it carefully. This information provides new and compelling details about Iran’s efforts to develop missile-deliverable nuclear weapons. These facts are consistent with what the United States has long known: Iran had a robust, clandestine nuclear weapons program that it has tried and failed to hide from the world and from its own people. The Iranian regime has shown it will use destructive weapons against its neighbors and others. Iran must never have nuclear weapons.”
Compelling presentation by PM @netanyahu on the illicit Iranian nuclear weapons program. Iran is destabilizing the region with support to Hizballah and Hamas—the regime is the enemy of peace. They must never get nuclear weapons! https://t.co/KtUwl9QegS
