Seized nuclear archive could deter Iran, Israeli Minister says

An Israeli Cabinet minister has said his country's dramatic seizure of what it purports to be Iran's nuclear programme archive could help deter the Islamic Republic from trying to strike Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled on Monday what he claimed was a "half ton" of Iranian nuclear documents collected by Israeli intelligence, claiming it proved Iranian leaders covered up a nuclear weapons programme before signing a deal with world powers in 2015.
