Mossad head says Iran remains top of spy agencys agenda

jewish link bwc- Iran remains the Mossads main priority as it continues to seek military nuclear capabilities and to flex its muscles throughout the Middle East and on Israels border, the organizations head Yossi Cohen said Monday as he and the prime minister handed out certificates of merit to the spy agencys most daring operatives.

Iran continues to desire significant nuclear capabilities so that these can lead to military capabilities; Iran continues to operate military forces in the Middle East, closer than ever to our borders both in the Syrian and Lebanese arenas; Iran continues to support Hezbollah, and more recently it has increased its support for Hamas, Cohen said at the event.

Cohen also mentioned ISIS, saying that the Islamic State organization would continue to attempt to attack Israel, and no less importantly, to attack our friends in the world.

Addressing the six certificates of merit granted to the agencys operatives, Cohen said the group undertakes hundreds of thousands of activities a year, making it hard to single out particular ones for praise.

Some are complicated and daring in the heart of enemy states. [but] all share several things in commonbravery, courage, dedication to a goal, determination, creativity, depth, thoroughness and groundbreaking technology.

Mossad, Cohen added was building its internal strength in order to meet the challenges of the future with advanced technologies, intelligence systems, building strength and human resources, to develop abilities to engage our power in secret for many years to come, in all areas that the Mossad engages.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said he saluted the Mossad operatives for their bravery, professionalism, planning and execution.

You have an important part in securing the security and the future of the State of Israel, Netanyahu said.
