Israel To Show U.S. Nuclear Intel On Iran
Disappointed after failing to make their case on Iran and influence the outcome of the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released this week, Israel’s Military Intelligence will present hard evidence on Iran’s nuclear program to the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff who is scheduled to visit the Jewish State over the weekend.
Admiral Michael Mullen will land in Israel Sunday morning for a 24-hour visit that will include a one-on-one meeting with IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, as well as with Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Mullen will be met by an honor guard at the Kirya Military Headquarters in Tel Aviv and will sit through a day of presentations by IDF generals, including Military Intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin and others.
Mullen’s visit will be the first time a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has visited Israel in the past decade.
Considering that Israel is in the same neighborhood as Iran, it’s not far fetched to imagine their intelligence on Iran to be more accurate than ours.
Israel’s intelligence service is among the best in the world, so it’s definitely in our best interest to hear them out. The NIE really does seem suspicious. It’s a known fact that certain factions of our intelligence community have sought to undermine the Bush Administration’s foreign policy since day one.
