Israel Denies Spying on U.S. to Get Iran Nuclear Talk Details

Israel’s foreign minister on Tuesday denied a Wall Street Journal report alleging that Israel had spied on the U.S. to learn details about its nuclear talks with Iran.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman told Israel’s Army Radio the report was “not correct, not accurate.”

Liberman insisted that Israel does not spy on the U.S. as a matter of policy, and that with other parties involved in the talks — most notably Iran — Israeli intelligence could have gleaned details of the negotiations through other avenues.

“We don’t spy on the United States. There are enough players involved [in the negotiations], such as Iranian players,” Liberman said.
