Mossad chief claims Iran still aspires to build nuclear weapons

Israel's intelligence chief David Barnea accused Iran of still seeking to develop nuclear weapons and use them against the Jewish state.

“Iran has not abandoned its ambition to destroy the State of Israel. The idea of continuing to develop a nuclear bomb still beats in their hearts. It is our responsibility to ensure that the nuclear project, which has been mortally wounded in close cooperation with the Americans, will never be activated," David Barnea said.

The head of Mossad said Iran believes it can "fool the world and realize another bad nuclear deal", which Israel will not allow to materialize.

"Iran believes it can once again fool the world and realize another bad nuclear deal. We did not and will not allow a bad deal to materialize," David Barnea said.
