Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will make a statement Monday evening on a “significant development” regarding the Iranian nuclear pact, his office said, as rising tensions between the two Middle Eastern powers stoke fears they’re headed for a military showdown in Syria.

Israel has obtained a trove of documents that officials say prove Iran has misled the world about its nuclear program, Channel 2 reported, without saying how it got the information. Oil prices gained and Israeli stocks dropped after the announcement.
