Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Iran of hiding nuclear-related material at a warehouse in Tehran.
He claimed Iran had a 'secret atomic warehouse' in Tehran in an address to the UN General Assembly on Thursday, which he said proved it had not abandoned its nuclear weapons programme.
Netanyahu held up a map and a photograph of an outwardly innocuous looking in the Turquzabad district of Tehran, which he said was concealed as a rug-cleaning operation.
Netanyahu's disclosure - which he presented as a big reveal on the international community's biggest stage - came four months after Israel announced the existence of what it said was a 'half-ton' of Iranian nuclear documents obtained by Israeli intelligence in the Shourabad neighborhood near Tehran.
Israel said the cache proved that Iranian leaders covered up their nuclear weapons program before signing the nuclear agreement. Iran hasn't acknowledged the alleged seizure.

'You have to ask yourself a question: Why did Iran keep a secret atomic archive and a secret atomic warehouse?' he asked. 'What Iran hides, Israel will find.'
The Israeli leader also lambasted Iran's ballistic missile activity, identifying three locations near Beirut airport where he said Lebanon's Hezbollah was converting missiles.
'In Lebanon, Iran is directing Hezbollah to build secret sites to convert inaccurate projectiles into precision-guided missiles, missiles that can target deep inside Israel within an accuracy of 10 metres (yards),' he said.
He accused Hezbollah of 'deliberately using the innocent people of Beirut as human shields.'
Netanyahu added: 'Israel know what you are doing, Israel knows where you are doing it, and Israel will not let you get away with it.'
Speaking about Iran's 'secret atomic warehouse', he said: 'In May we exposed the site of Iran's secret atomic archive. Today I'm revealing the site of a second facility, Iran's secret atomic warehouse.
'Iran has not abandoned its goal to develop nuclear weapons.... Rest assured that will not happen. What Iran hides, Israel will find,' he added.
'Today I am disclosing for the first time that Iran has another secret facility in Tehran, a secret atomic warehouse for storing massive amounts of equipment and materiel from Iran's secret nuclear programme.

Netanyahu said Israel has shared information about this site with the International Atomic Energy Agency and some intelligence agencies
'Since we raided the atomic archive, they've been busy cleaning out the atomic warehouse.
'Just last month they removed 15 kilograms of radioactive material. You know what they did with it?' he said.
'They took it out and they spread it around Tehran in an effort to hide the evidence.'
Netanyahu said Israel has shared information about this site with the International Atomic Energy Agency and some intelligence agencies.
He called on the UN's atomic agency to carry out immediate inspections at a location known to Israel.
There was no immediate reaction from Iran, which denies building nuclear weapons.

Netanyahu in April unveiled what he said was a pile of archives that showed a secret Iranian nuclear weapons program ahead of the US decision to pull out of a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
He said Iranian officials had started cleaning out the atomic warehouse, but still had a lot of work to do because they 'have had at least 15 ship containers, they're gigantic, 15 ship containers full of nuclear-related equipment and materials stored there,' he said.
'This means that this site contained as much as 300 tonnes - 300 tonnes - of nuclear-related equipment and materiel,' he said.
France, Britain, Germany, China and Russia have stayed in the deal, vowing to save it despite the restoration of US sanctions on Iran.
Netanyahu noted that Israel had long opposed the multinational agreement with Iran and accused the European powers of appeasing Iran.
'Have these European leaders learned nothing from history? Will they ever wake up?' he said.
Israel considers Iran its biggest threat, citing Tehran's calls for Israel's destruction, its support for hostile militant organizations like Hezbollah and Iran's development of long-range missiles.
Netanyahu's revelation came shortly after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (above) took Israel and the US to task in his own speech
US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the nuclear deal in May, and his administration has been re-imposing sanctions on Iran.
Israel applauded Trump's decision, but many other nations lamented it as jeopardising what they saw as the best chance for keeping Iran from becoming a nuclear-armed power.
'Instead of coddling Iran's dictators,' other countries should support the sanctions, Netanyahu said to applause.
The 2015 Iran nuclear deal came after years of Western sanctions over the country's contested atomic program.
The West long has feared it could be used to build nuclear bombs. Iran long has denied seeking atomic weapons.
Under terms of the deal, Iran is allowed to keep documents and other research. The deal strictly limits how many centrifuges Iran can use and how large of a low-enriched uranium stockpile the country can keep.
Netanyahu's revelation came shortly after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas took Israel and the US to task in his own speech, declaring that his people's rights 'are not up for bargaining' and that the US was undermining the long-discussed two-state solution.
But Netanyahu devoted less attention to his country's long-running conflict with the Palestinians.
Abbas halted ties with Trump's administration in December after the US recognised contested Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Palestinians have said a pending US peace plan will be dead on arrival because of that and other recent US moves that Palestinians see as favouring Israel.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
