Israeli spy chief to meet US officials on Iran deal

JERUSALEM, 29 August 2022, (TON): An official said “the head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency will visit the United States in early September for talks on the possible revival of the Iran nuclear deal.”

The announced visit is the latest in the Jewish state’s push to sway Western powers from a deal to return to the landmark 2015 deal with Tehran.

Israel says a deal would facilitate the funding of Iran-supported militants, while not preventing Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon a goal Iran has always denied.

A senior Israeli official told “Mossad chief David Barnea will be visiting Washington in a week to participate in closed door meetings in Congress on the Iran deal.”

Prime Minister Yair Lapid said “Israel’s diplomatic fight against the deal included its national security adviser and defense minister holding recent meetings in the United States.”
