Mossad Director David Barnea flew to Washington to attempt to convince the U.S. either to engage in military action against Iran, to endorse Israeli covert action or to at least ramp up sanctions. Barnea was expected to hand U.S. officials “updated intelligence on Tehran’s efforts” regarding its nuclear activities. “Iran will not have nuclear weapons, not in the coming years, not ever. That is my promise, that is Mossad’s promise,” Barnea has said.
