Israeli intelligence agency Mossad thanked the CIA for their close cooperation during the attacks on Iran, respective days after the US negotiated ceasefire entered into force.
"I would besides like to express my gratitude and appreciation to our key partner, the CIA, for joint actions and successful operations, as well as to its director, who supported Mossad in making the right decisions" said Mossad manager David Barnea in a message on Wednesday, quoted by AFP.Israeli agents reportedly smuggled drones to Iran, which were utilized to kill elder commanders and atomic scientists under Operation Rising Lion, launched on 13 June. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks accompanied by raids on all Iran were intended to prevent this country from gaining atomic weapons.The United States joined the attacks on June 22, attacking 3 atomic objects, including an underground uranium enrichment center in Fordow."The Iranian threat that has threatened our safety for decades has been importantly neutralized" “ Barnea said.
"We will proceed to closely observe all known Iranian projects – we know them perfectly – and we will be there as we have been before."In a separate message on Wednesday CIA manager John Ratcliffe said attacks ‘seriously harmed’ Iran's atomic program.
However, American media cited the assessment of the Pentagon intelligence agency, according to which the attack delayed Iran's atomic activities for only a fewer months.Iran, who denies having a military atomic program, condemned the attacks as unprovoked and responded by firing rockets in Israeli cities and firing at an American air base in Qatar.
Tehran besides promised to proceed enriching uranium.The ceasefire negotiated by Washington entered into force on Tuesday and has been respected so far.
