Former Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen Reveals Multiple Visits to Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Site

Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen disclosed new details about Israeli intelligence activities targeting Iran’s nuclear program during a conference in the Galilee on August 11, 2026. Cohen revealed that Mossad operatives had repeatedly visited the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow to gather detailed intelligence. He described the recent U.S. military strike on the Fordow site as "the fulfillment of all my dreams," emphasizing the strategic importance of damaging the most secure and protected installation of the Iranian regime.

Despite praising the attack, Cohen issued a professional caveat regarding the current status of Iran’s nuclear program. He noted that although Iran’s uranium enrichment level has reached 60 percent, which is a serious and concerning development, it does not yet equate to possession of an operational nuclear weapon. "60 percent enriched uranium is still far from a bomb," he concluded. Cohen’s remarks provide insight into the close cooperation and intelligence efforts between Israel and the U.S. concerning Iran’s nuclear capabilities and highlight ongoing concerns about Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
