Netanyahu Shares Iran Nuclear Intelligence with UAE President
During a secret visit to Abu Dhabi on September 27, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu provided UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan with new intelligence indicating Iran's resumption of its nuclear program activities. According to Clash Report, the intelligence included details about new construction at the deeply buried "Pickaxe Mountain" facility south of Natanz.
Netanyahu reportedly informed bin Zayed that Israel assesses Iran might attempt a new attack "in the coming weeks." Pickaxe Mountain is considered one of Iran's most secure nuclear infrastructure sites.
Earlier in September, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported construction activity in the area. However, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated the agency lacked data confirming uranium enrichment was already underway at the site. A September 9 satellite imagery analysis by CSIS also noted significant construction in 2026 but did not confirm the presence of active centrifuges.
The meeting between Netanyahu and bin Zayed focused primarily on Iran and regional security. Both the UAE and Israel later confirmed the visit.
