Former Mossad official warns: Iran is edging toward the nuclear threshold
Former Mossad official Haim Tomer agrees with former Mossad chief Dadi Barnea's warning, but believes a nuclear deal with Iran is preferable to having no agreement
Assessment
A former Mossad official is publicly backing the assessment that Iran is approaching nuclear capability, while arguing that a diplomatic agreement remains the better option. This positions him against those who view any deal as inherently dangerous or ineffective. The real tension here is between accepting a flawed agreement or facing the consequences of no agreement at all. Watch for whether this signals a broader split within Israeli security circles over how to handle Iran's nuclear progress.
