The "Israeli regime … is trumpeting lies to poison Vienna talks," tweeted Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh on the eve of the fourth day of nuclear talks between Tehran and major powers in the Austria capital.
The stinging statement came in reaction to press reports earlier this week that Israel had provided the Western sides with intelligence that the Islamic Republic was inching closer to upgrading its nuclear enrichment to the 90% level needed to produce an atomic bomb.
