Ex-Mossad head: We operated against nuclear program in 'heart of Iran'
[Jpost] "The Iranian regime is lying to the whole world and we proved it," said former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen.

The Mossad carried out a significant number of operations against Iran's nuclear program, including deep inside Iranian territory, former Mossad head Yossi Cohen said at a World Zionist Organization event in this Swiss city on Monday.

"The Iranian regime is lying to the whole world and we proved it when we brought thousands of documents from the Iranian archives, documents that proved that the Iranians lied to the IAEA," he said, using the acronym for International Atomic Energy Agency.

"I can guarantee that Israel will do everything necessary to delay and prevent the Iranians from building atomic bombs that would threaten the State of Israel," Cohen continued.

IRAN'S SUPPORT FOR TERRORISM
Cohen also addressed Iran's state support of terrorism, which he described as another threat facing Israel besides Iran's nuclear aspirations.

"The regime in Iran is the global financier of terrorism in the world," said Cohen. "This [Iranian] administration calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and wiping it off of the map."

Cohen added that "Iran is trying to besiege Israel from the south in Gaza and from the north in Syria and Lebanon." Iran "trains and finances terrorist organizations. The administration allows terrorist organizations to send thousands of missiles towards Israel."

AN AGENT OF PEACE
Regarding the Abraham Accords, Cohen said, "the work of the Mossad is not only intelligence gathering but also the promotion of peace. We saw these results in the signing of the Abraham Accords. I pray that more nations from our region will join the peace trend."

Cohen spoke at a conference initiated by the World Zionist Organization in honor of the 125th anniversary of the First Zionist Congress in Basel. The event has seen the participation of over 1,400 Jewish leaders, entrepreneurs and philanthropists from around the world. The conference deals with the implementation of Herzl's socio-economic vision and formulating a response to the challenges of the Jewish people in the coming decades.

#3 The logical outcome is for Israel to ignore the nuke facilities and instead decapitate the Iranian mullahs' regime. Persians are sick of it anyway, so two problems solved in one stroke.
