A former head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency has claimed its spies had visited Iran’s Fordow nuclear site “many times” in the past in order to better understand the facility, AFP reports.
The US military briefly joined Israel during the 12-day conflict with Iran last year, and used its advanced aircraft to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
“We toured the Fordow nuclear site many times to understand the site,” Yossi Cohen, who led the Mossad between 2015 and 2021, claimed during a conference of local authorities, Israeli media reported.
He didn’t elaborate on when exactly the visits took place or who made them.
