Yossi Cohen leitete den israelischen Auslandsgeheimdienst von 2015 bis 2021. Unter seiner Ära hätten israelische Spione die iranische Atomanlage mehrmals in Augenschein genommen. Die Bombardierung von Fordo sei für den Ex-Mossad-Chef „die Erfüllung all meiner Träume“ gewesen.

Former Mossad chief says US bombing of Fordow in June 2025 was ‘the fulfillment of all my dreams’; he also argues uranium enriched to 60% is still ‘far from a bomb’

It remains unclear whether Cohen was referring to agents physically present within the facility or to a form of remote monitoring.
