Mossad Praises Historic Iran Offensive, Thanks CIA for Support

Israel's Mossad intelligence agency has hailed its recent 12-day aerial campaign against Iran as a historic operation that significantly neutralized the longstanding Iranian threat. Mossad Chief David Barnea publicly praised the agency's agents for their critical role, including smuggling attack drones into Iran and targeting nuclear and military sites, and expressed gratitude for the key partnership and support of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which was instrumental in the success of the operation. The CIA confirmed that credible intelligence shows Iran's nuclear program suffered severe damage, with several key facilities destroyed and requiring years to rebuild. The joint Israeli and American efforts included targeted strikes on Iranian missile and nuclear facilities, as well as the elimination of senior military figures and atomic scientists, with U.S. military support in intercepting Iranian missiles. Barnea vowed continued vigilance over all known Iranian projects, emphasizing Israel's preparedness for future threats, while Israeli military leaders affirmed the nuclear program setback. Amid a fragile ceasefire brokered by the U.S., Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have pledged to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear capabilities.
