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 operations targeting Iran’s nuclear program, specifically the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordow. Speaking at the Galilee Conference on August 11, 2026, Cohen revealed that Mossad operatives had repeatedly visited the Fordow site to gather detailed intelligence. He described the recent U.S. military strike on the heavily fortified Fordow facility as "the fulfillment of all my dreams," emphasizing the strategic importance of damaging the regime’s most secure nuclear installation.

Despite praising the attack, Cohen issued a professional caveat regarding the current status of Iran’s nuclear program. He noted that although uranium enrichment to 60 percent purity is a serious and concerning development, it does not yet equate to possessing an operational nuclear weapon. "60 percent enriched uranium is still far from a bomb," he concluded. Cohen’s remarks highlight ongoing intelligence efforts and the complex challenges in assessing Iran’s nuclear capabilities amid international military actions.
