New Mossad Chief: Iran Deal "Significantly Increases" Threat to Israel
(Times of Israel) Tamar Pileggi - The nuclear agreement with Iran signed in July has "significantly increased" the threat to Israel posed by the Islamic republic, Yossi Cohen warned Wednesday as he was sworn in as the new head of the Mossad intelligence agency. "The key challenge is the Iranian threat. Despite the nuclear deal - I think because of it - the threat has significantly increased." "Iran continues to call for Israel's destruction, while intensifying its military capabilities and strengthening its grip on the region," Cohen said. "It employs terror cells as a means to achieve these goals."
