Outgoing Mossad chief tells Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee: Iranian nuclear threat, global jihad are major challenges to Israel.
Former Mossad chief Meir Dagan addressed the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee for the last time on Monday, and modified his previous statement that Iran will not have nuclear weapons until the middle of the decade.
He explained that the timeline estimates do “not change the fact that Iran is working toward nuclear military capabilities and in certain scenarios can shorten the time” it takes to attain nuclear weapons.
