Olli Heinonen is a Liar

Here he tells Israeli Army Radio,

“Iran is actually weaponizing uranium enrichment without making a weapon.”

The classrooms had been donated to the community by the European Union, which has donated hundreds of similar structures to primarily Bedouin communities across the occupied territories.
