Mossad: Iran's Nuclear Ambitions Remain Primary Threat to Israel
(Israel Hayom) Lilach Shoval - "As long as the ayatollahs' regime exists, Iran will pose a challenge to Israel," Mossad Director Yossi Cohen said Tuesday at Netanya Academic College. Cohen said Iran's nuclear ambitions remain the primary threat to the Jewish state. "We simply have to be more sophisticated. Our outlook should focus on the long term and we have to pursue complex courses of action, the kind that do not end in one year," he said. "The defense establishment has to focus on our enemies in the region, to study them, really get to know them, twist their arm when it becomes necessary - and it will become necessary. The Middle East is our home court and we have to be familiar with it. We have to pursue alliances and recognize mutual interests with friends and, if need be, with foes as well."
