Mossad 'Toured' Iran's Fordow Nuclear Site 'Many Times,' Former Head Yossi Cohen Claims
Cohen said the tours helped Israeli operatives understand the site as later reporting questioned Trump’s claim that U.S. strikes destroyed Iran’s nuclear program.
- Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen revealed on Tuesday that Israeli intelligence operatives visited Iran's Fordow nuclear site "many times" to study the facility during the Galilee Conference.
- These revelations follow the June 2025 Operation Rising Lion, when the United States military bombed Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan during a 12-day conflict aimed at degrading Iran's nuclear capability.
- Describing the American strike as "the fulfillment of all my dreams," Cohen dismissed concerns about Iran's 60% enriched uranium, arguing the program remains far from producing a bomb.
- Iranian spokesperson Behrouz Kamalvandi maintained that damage to the facilities was "limited" and vowed rebuilding efforts, contradicting initial claims of decisive military success.
- An internal Pentagon intelligence assessment published by The New York Times two days after the strike contradicted President Donald Trump's account, concluding damage was "far from final or complete.
