Diskin: Netanyahu failed concerning Iran

Former head of Israel's Shin Bet security forces, Yuval Diskin says despite his bellicose rhetoric, Zionist Prime Minister Netanyahu has failed in his policy towards Iran and its nuclear program.

Diskin who was privy to classified intelligence said that rather than weakening Iran, under his watch the Islamic Republic's nuclear capabilities grew.

"The time has come to wise up to Netanyahu's posturing and big words. This is an empty show," Diskin said in reference to Netanyahu's rhetoric regarding Iran, the most recent example of which was 40 minute long address to a joint session of the US Congress.

He said that "even according to Google it is clear Netanyahu failed," he said, adding the information was public knowledge.

"Six times more centrifuges, 12 times more enriched uranium, heavy water reactor for plutonium, uranium enriched to 20 percent," Diskin said, detailing the growth of Iran's nuclear program under Netanyahu.

"Everything was accelerated during his time as prime minister. The speech was just a smoke screen for his failures," he asserted.
