Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to present intelligence to President Trump indicating that Iran is expanding nuclear-related activity at its secret Pickaxe Mountain site, while publicly portraying itself as committed to negotiations, according to a New York Post report. The presentation would argue that Tehran is advancing its nuclear program while negotiating in bad faith.
The report, published by the New York Post, cites unnamed sources ahead of a planned meeting between Netanyahu and Trump. The intelligence reportedly details nuclear advancements at the secretive Pickaxe Mountain site, which has not been previously disclosed in open sources.
The presentation would mark the latest effort by Netanyahu to influence the trajectory of U.S.-Iran negotiations. The Zioneer has previously reported on his plans to send a delegation to Washington to present Israel's stance on the Iranian nuclear issue, as well as his public opposition to elements of the emerging framework.
The Pickaxe Mountain site is described as a highly secretive facility where Iran is allegedly expanding nuclear-related activity. The report does not specify the timing of the meeting or provide details on the specific intelligence to be presented.
