Mossad Chief Says Iran Still Aspires to Build Nuclear Weapons

Israel’s intelligence chief accused Iran of still seeking to develop nuclear weapons and use them against the Jewish state, views that appear to raise the prospect of further conflict between the two countries.

“Iran has not abandoned its ambition to destroy the State of Israel,” David Barnea, the head of Mossad, said in a speech this week. “The idea of continuing to develop a nuclear bomb still beats in their hearts.”
