The chief of Mossad thanks Ally US for helping to thwart the nuclear program of Iran

Mossad director David Barnea thanked the men and women working for the agency after the success of operation Israel Rising Lion.

He also expressed his appreciation in the United States – in particular the CIA – for their work in the fight against the Iranian nuclear program.

“These are historical days for the people of Israel. The Iranian threat, which has endangered our security for decades, has been considerably thwarted thanks to the extraordinary cooperation between the FDI, which led the campaign, and Mossad, which worked next, with the support of our ally, the United States,” said Barnea.

Mossad, the equivalent of CIA Israel, had staff in Iran ready for the launch of Operation Rising Lion, which was unprecedented when the agency published a video of its agents at work.

Before the American strikes in the early hours of Sunday morning, Iranian hour, there were speculation if Washington and Jerusalem coordinated. President Donald Trump clearly indicated after the strikes that he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had worked together.

“I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team – as maybe no team has ever worked before – and we have contributed a lot to erase this horrible threat to Israel,” Trump told the nation speech after Iran strikes.

While Barnea expressed her gratitude to Israeli and American forces, he also said that “the mission is not yet over”.

“Mossad will continue, with determination, to monitor, follow and act to thwart threats against us – just as we have always done – for the good of the state of Israel and its people,” said Barnea.
