A former head of Israel’s Mossad <\/a>intelligence agency on Tuesday claims its spies had “visited” Iran’s Fordow nuclear site “many times” in the past in order to better understand the facility.<\/p>\n In June last year, Israel <\/a>launched a war against Iran with the stated goal of degrading its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.<\/p>\n The United States military briefly joined Israel during the 12-day conflict, and used its advanced aircraft to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.<\/p>\n The US and Israel then jointly launched a war on Iran on 28 February 2026, that still is ongoing, without achieving any of their proclaimed goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n “We toured the Fordow nuclear site many times to understand the site,” Yossi Cohen, who led the Mossad <\/a>between 2015 and 2021, claimed during a conference of local authorities on Tuesday, Israeli media reported.<\/p>\n He didn’t elaborate on when exactly the visits took place or who made them, nor provided any further evidence behind the boast.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Israeli media, Cohen said “the bombing of the site by the Americans was the fulfillment of all my dreams”.<\/p>\n
