Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had passed information to Britain that linked Iran to an attack there. In a televised interview aired overnight into October 1 in Israel, he said Iran stood behind the British attack and Israel had shared that information with British authorities. He criticized Britain for imposing sanctions on Israel a few days later, calling its approach cynical and hypocritical. Netanyahu did not identify the British incident, reveal the information’s contents, or specify when Israel shared it; his statement did not establish that the information had prevented an attack.
