Mossad Director David Barnea thanked the men and women working for the agency after the success of Israel’s Operation Rising Lion.
He also expressed his appreciation to the U.S. — particularly the CIA — for their work in countering Iran’s nuclear program.
“These are monumental days for Israelis,” stated Barnea. “The longstanding threat from Iran has been substantially diminished due to the remarkable collaboration between the IDF, who spearheaded the efforts, and the Mossad, who supported those efforts with the backing of the United States.”
Mossad Director David Barnea extended gratitude to the agency’s members for their efforts in countering Iran’s nuclear ambitions and also acknowledged the role of the United States.
While Barnea expressed his gratitude to Israeli and American forces alike, he also said that “the mission is not yet complete.”
“The Mossad will persistently watch, track, and counter the threats against us with the same dedication we have always shown, for the benefit of the State of Israel and its citizens,” affirmed Barnea.

Iran’s nuclear chief, Mohammad Eslami, said on Tuesday that the country was assessing the damage and preparing to restore the facilities, according to Reuters. He added that Iran’s “plan is to prevent interruptions in the process of production and services.”
Both Trump and Netanyahu vowed to respond if Iran rebuilds its nuclear program.
