Israel has capabilities inside of Tehran that have not been used yet, Mossad director David Barnea said last night, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
“We have won, and we will continue to win,” said Barnea, speaking at the Prime Minister’s Award ceremony, which was given this year to the spy agency.
“Though we proved that Iran is penetrable, we are not letting up,” Barnea continued. “The Mossad has very strong operational capabilities, even more imaginative and powerful than before — especially inside Iran and even in the heart of Tehran.”
“We will continue to build and strengthen our capabilities in Iran, to keep our eyes open from within Iran on what is happening behind closed doors, and we will not allow ideas that could endanger our security to grow,” he promised.
The event, attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, took place on the one-year anniversary of the “beeper” operation in which Israel detonated thousands of pagers as they were held by Hezbollah operatives.
