CBS on Tuesday fretted over the danger of the U.S. leaving the 2015 nuclear agreement, dismissing Israel’s claims regarding secret new files detailing Iran’s lies. Talking to Condoleezza Rice about the rumors that Donald Trump will exit the deal, This Morning co-host Norah O’Donnell started with the premise that America should stay in: “What is the damage if President Trump withdraws from the accord?”

The former Secretary of State under George W. Bush responded by calling the Obama deal “weak” and recounting the pros and cons of the accord. She concluded: “I don't think that it's the end of the world if the administration leaves the agreement.”

The front page of Tuesday’s New York Times recounted Israel’s claims of Iranian lies:

Revealing a huge archive of stolen Iranian nuclear plans, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel accused Iran on Monday of lying for years about its efforts to build a nuclear weapon. Days before President Trump was to decide whether to pull out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, Mr. Netanyahu presented records from a secret warehouse in Tehran, making the case that Iranian leaders had deceived the international nuclear agency when they insisted their nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. Israeli spies seized the documents in an overnight raid in January, a senior Israeli official said.

Later in the CBS This Morning show, the co-hosts went into damage control as they talked to Israel’s ambassador, Ron Dermer. O’Donnell scolded: “You've heard some of the reaction, not groundbreaking, not anything new.”

Co-host John Dickerson offered a declaration — not a question — as he lectured Dermer:

Mr. Ambassador, it was Israeli policy and U.S. policy that Iran has beenconsistently lying about this weapons program. So, while there are fascinating new tales about the nature and corners and crannies of that lie, the basic fact that everybody knew and was operating on the fact they were lying is still something everybody knew.

The Israeli ambassador shot back: “Well, some people knew that they were lying. Not everybody. There were inspectors, there were nuclear experts who claimed, as of a few years ago, that Iran really didn't have a military nuclear program. Hopefully this will be news to them.”

Expect more collective freak outs from the networks if the U.S. does pull out of the accord.
