According to former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, Israel’s Mossad carried out operations “in the heart of Iran” to impair the country’s nuclear program.

“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,” Cohen said on Monday at a World Zionist Organization event in Basel, Switzerland, reported Fox News.

Cohen is alluding to the 2018 operation in which Israeli spies stole a trove of nuclear documents from the Iranian capital, including blueprints for a nuclear bomb.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Monday that any plan to revive a nuclear deal with world powers must include a halt to international inspectors’ investigation into man-made uranium particles discovered at undeclared facilities in the country.

“It is Russia who bears full responsibility for all provocations and casualties,” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.
The two diplomats pledged deeper cooperation as the nations mark 35 years of diplomatic relations amid Russia’s war.
Troops also fired on a suspect approaching “in a manner that posed a threat to them,” according to the military.
The cybersecurity company, founded by two IDF Unit 8200 veterans, will acquire the fellow Israeli startup in cash and stock.
The decision reversed an order issued just days earlier following a wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks • Israel’s national security minister called on the premier to revoke the decision, calling it “capitulation to terrorism.”
“I had to move to Israel to find my person,” said Sophie Lichtman of Savannah, Georgia.
