Mossad director warns Iran: 'Harm to Israelis will lead to strike in heart of Tehran'

Mossad Director David Barnea, during a conference a Richman University in Herzliya on Sunday, revealed that Iran intended to sell Russia short and long-range missiles, but the deal was shut down.

"They intend to sell additional arms, which will be shut down as well. Our fear is that in return, the Russians will transfer advanced weaponry to the Iranians that would certainly threaten our wellbeing and even our existence here," he stated.

According to him, "Tehran continues trying to get the status of an enlightened country. They hide behind a story. As Iran's self-confidence grows, so do its efforts to spread terrorism around the world since it feels that it won't pay a high price.

We see a significant rise in attempts to harm Jews and Israelis around the world. In the past year, we foiled, together with our partners, 27 terror attacks worldwide," he added. READ MORE
