(Reuters) - Israel accused Iran on Wednesday of using "deception and concealment" to buy time for its nuclear program, signaling skepticism about the new Iranian president's move away from the hardline stance of his predecessor.

Israel, believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear-armed power, also said an Arab push to single it out for criticism at a U.N. nuclear agency meeting this week would deal a "serious blow" to any attempt to hold regional security talks.

The election of a relative moderate, Hassan Rouhani, as Iranian president has raised hopes of progress in long-stalled efforts to find a solution to the decade-old dispute over Tehran's nuclear program.

An Iranian official said he saw an "opening" in Iran's nuclear row with the West, in the latest signal that Tehran expects fresh movement to break the deadlock.

Copy and past the phrase into Google. Netanyahu has been saying this since 1992. For 20 fucking years. There are some links showing claims as far back as the 70's.
