Netanyahu: Even Best Intelligence Agencies in the World Won’t Know If Iran Is Covertly Developing a Nuke

‘I have full respect for intelligence — but it’s very thin ice’

NETANYAHU: "Well, I think that — I have respect for our intelligence services. They’re the best in the world — Israel, the U.S. and the U.K. And yet, all three of us didn’t see for a long time the massive underground nuclear bunkers in Qom and in Natanz. We didn’t see the Syrian war kind of reactor, a nuclear reactor that was almost operational when we discovered. So, I have full respect for intelligence. But it’s very thin ice. You simply, you can’t have — speak with confidence about knowing a covert path to the bomb uninspected sites because you simply don’t know. Intelligence and the best intelligence in the world, you still very thin ice."
