Mossad 'toured' Iran's Fordow nuclear site 'many times,' former head Yossi Cohen claims

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen revealed that the Israeli intelligence agency repeatedly toured Iran's Fordow nuclear site to understand its operations. Speaking at the Galilee Conference, Cohen did not specify if these tours involved physical presence or remote monitoring.

“

Its bombing by the Americans is the fulfillment of all my dreams.

Cohen also expressed a personal desire for the site to be bombed by Americans, though he assessed that uranium enriched to 60% is still a significant distance from being able to produce a nuclear weapon. These comments come amid ongoing concerns about Iran's nuclear program.

uranium enriched to 60% is still far from a bomb.

In previous statements following a US strike on the Fordow facility, Iran's Atomic Energy Organization reported only limited damage. Spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi stated that much of the equipment and materials had been removed beforehand, mitigating extensive damage and preventing contamination. He also noted that above-ground sections of the Natanz site sustained damage, while Isfahan's nuclear complex saw minor damage, with no casualties reported across any facilities. Iran vowed to rebuild any damaged sites.

Limited damage was caused to several areas at the Fordow enrichment site, and we had already removed a significant portion of the equipment and materials. Therefore, there was no extensive damage, and there are no concerns about contamination.
