Israeli agency told to find incriminating material on Obama diplomats who negotiated deal with Tehran Donald Trump promised the Israeli leader that Iran would never have nuclear weapons. Donald Trump promised the Israeli leader that Iran would never have nuclear weapons. Photograph: Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP Aides to Donald Trump, the US president, hired an Israeli private intelligence agency to orchestrate a “dirty ops” campaign against key individuals from the Obama administration who helped negotiate the Iran nuclear deal, the Observer can reveal.
People in the Trump camp contacted private investigators in May last year to “get dirt” on Ben Rhodes, who had been one of Barack Obama’s top national security advisers, and Colin Kahl, deputy assistant to Obama, as part of an elaborate attempt to discredit the deal.
The extraordinary revelations come days before Trump’s 12 May deadline to either scrap or continue to abide by the international deal limiting Iran’s nuclear programme.
Jack Straw, who as foreign secretary was involved in earlier efforts to restrict Iranian weapons, said: “These are extraordinary and appalling allegations but which also illustrate a high level of desperation by Trump and [the Israeli prime minister] Benjamin Netanyahu, not so much to discredit the deal but to undermine those around it.”
One former high-ranking British diplomat with wide experience of negotiating international peace agreements, requesting anonymity, said: “It’s bloody outrageous to do this. The whole point of negotiations is to not play dirty tricks like this.”

As Reagan discovered. OYou cannot get useful information through the government agencies that have been propagating fantasy for decades. You have to use other resources for accurate information.
How hard is it to find dirt on dirty people?
Has no one seen a cartoon with PigPen in it?
Russia BS going down in flames.
Stormy not getting much traction.
John Kerry meets with an Iranian to “negotiate”.
Oh, I get it, now it’s Iran collusion. On President Trump’s part.
These traitors and facilitators need to be held accountable.
It’s the Manchester Guardian for goodness sakes, the ULTIMATE in fake news. The Guardian makes WaPoo and NYslimes look positively virtuous by comparison ...
NOTHING they publish is true. NOTHING!
I'm shocked. I thought Trump was Mitt Romney II.
Typical left wing media hit job. They make an unattributed accusation and then dwell on responses to made up stories.
Perfidious UKistan.
Since when is it “digging up dirt” to find out if these guys violated any protocols or gave up any intelligence secrets? Isn’t this what our FBI should be doing? After all, they’ve been trying to do that with Trump and his associates.
The Guardian is not off all day celebrating Karl Marx’ 200th birthday?
They are slipping...
Unlike the lyin king aka BHO aka Burry Sotero aka Stevie Duhnam, aka Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo Jr. HE MEANS IT!
I refer to him as the Halfican Queen
In other words, they hired the Israeli agency to undercover corruption by the Obama administration.
I sure hope this is not fake news. We live in a dangerous world. Obama/Iran collusion must be investigated and if proven, must be exposed.
Unlike Obama’s OFA, who gave a million(!) AFTER the electikn to Fusion GPS and friends to discredit Trump. And Hillary and DNC, who paid for the creation of a HOAX fiction dossier to destroy Trump.
Anyone hired by Trump by definition were working for the US.
Hey Guardian, I don’t want to hear it, I will not believe it and nothing you say is believed.
Try to think back during the days of pervert Clinton. Remember how nothing would shake the support of Clinton. Bach then it was the truth, and people couldn’t handle the truth.
Soooo, I, for one, learned a lesson from that era. The importance of what the President has to do takes precedence over everything else. Whatever, you people offer, will be considered by me to be FAKE NEWS.
Hillary Hired Russians to do something much worse
“It’s bloody outrageous to do this. The whole point of negotiations is to not play dirty tricks like this.”
Does this statement make any sense at all to anyone? I thought the whole point of negotiations was to get a good deal for your country or failing that, to walk away.
