Ex-Mossad chief says ‘we toured’ Iran’s Fordo nuclear site ‘many times’

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen revealed to the Galilee Conference that the spy agency had taken multiple tours of Iran's Fordow nuclear site to gain a comprehensive understanding of it. It is unclear whether Cohen meant that agents were physically on-site or if they were monitoring the facility remotely.

Cohen expressed his satisfaction with the bombing of Fordow by the Americans, stating that it met "all my dreams." However, he argued that uranium enriched to 60% is still far from a nuclear weapon.

The Fordow site, located in a mountainous region, is a buried nuclear enrichment facility. The Americans attacked it during Operation Rising Lion. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization claimed that the damage was "limited" and that a significant portion of the equipment and materials had been removed. Behrouz Kamalvandi, deputy head and spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization, confirmed this assessment.

In contrast, Natanz, another nuclear site, suffered more extensive damage, particularly to its above-ground sections. Kamalvandi noted that most of the facilities are underground, so the leakage was minimal and contained. He also stated that there were no casualties during the strikes at any of the nuclear facilities.

The senior agency official emphasized that the damage to the nuclear complexes would be repaired in a "much better way."
