Biden Told Mossad Director U.S. Isn't Close to Returning to Iran Deal
(Axios) Barak Ravid - President Biden told the director of Israel's Mossad intelligence service, Yossi Cohen, on Friday that the U.S. has a long way to go in talks with Iran before it agrees to a return to full compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, said a senior Israeli official briefed on the talks. Cohen laid out Israel's position, telling Biden it would be a mistake for the U.S. to return to the deal without improving it first. While a spokesperson for the U.S. National Security Council said Biden "dropped by to express condolences for the tragedy at Mount Meron," a senior Israeli official said the meeting wasn't "a drop in," but was a pre-scheduled, hour-long meeting with the president, national security advisor Jake Sullivan, and CIA director Bill Burns to discuss Iran.
