Arutz Sheva: Mossad: We have eyes and ears in Iran

Iran making significant in-roads in Middle East, warns Mossad chief, but adds that Israel is keeping a close watch on Iran.

The Iranian regime is expanding its influence across the Middle East, warned Israel’s chief foreign intelligence expert at a Finance Ministry meeting Tuesday.

Yossi Cohen, who heads Israel’s Mossad national intelligence and special operations agency, said that Tehran is gaining footholds across the Middle East, with few encumbrances.

“The Iranians are spreading across the Middle East with a vast array of forces, and there is little holding them back,” said Cohen. Iran is on track “to realize its dream of creating what almost amounts to a land and air bridge allowing them to dump troops across the Middle East.”

Israel, Cohen continued, is closely monitoring Iran’s moves both at home and abroad, with assets operating inside the Islamic republic.

“We have eyes and ears, even inside Iran.”
