Ex-Mossad chief signals Israel culpability for Iran attacks

June 12, 2021

Those included the assassination of the top Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and an explosion at an underground centrifuge hall in Natanz. Discussing Natanz, Dayan asked Cohen where he would take explosives if they could travel there. US intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency believe Iran abandoned that organised effort at seeking a nuclear weapon in 2003. While Cohen on camera does not accept responsibility for the killing, Dayan described Cohen as having “personally signed off on the entire campaign”. The former spy chief confirmed that the Mossad received most of the material before it was physically taken out of Iran.
