Biden Met With Head of Mossad Spy Agency in Washington to Discuss Iran - Reports
The meeting was the second this week in Washington involving senior US and Israeli officials, according to the Associated Press, and underscored Israel’s unease with the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States on reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
US President Joe Biden has held talks with Israel's intelligence chief Yossi Cohen, discussing Iran, Axios reports, citing an anonymous source.
The Friday meeting was not planned in advance and was organized on short notice, while Cohen was in Washington DC, the source said, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu briefed Cohen ahead of the talks. The source told Axios that Netanyahu got an update from Cohen after the meeting with Biden.
On Friday, US media reported that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and several senior Biden administration national security aides met with Cohen in Washington.
The news comes after Iran announced on Saturday that the parties to the JCPOA had agreed during talks in Vienna to remove multiple people and entities from lists of sanctions against Tehran. However, the talks still continue.
