Israel Reportedly Spying on Iranian Nuclear Talks
As the United States and a group of five other world powers held nuclear negotiations with Iran, U.S. ally Israel used espionage to glean details of the secret talks and work behind the scenes to scuttle any potential agreement, according to a report posted late Monday by The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal said senior White House officials learned last year that Israel was using eavesdropping, information from confidential U.S. briefings, informants and European diplomatic contacts to learn details of the talks.
The report said Israel denied directly spying on the United States, but instead got information by monitoring Iranian leaders who received updates on the meetings.
