Mossad chief: Supply of Russian weapons to Iran could threaten Israel's security

Mossad Director David Barnea said on Sunday that Israel was concerned about Russia selling advanced weaponry to Iran and revealed that the spy agency and its allies in the international intelligence community foiled 27 Iranian attacks against Jews and Israelis abroad over the past year, Report informs, citing The Times of Israel.

Speaking at an annual conference of the Institute for Counter-Terrorism Policy (ICT) at Reichman University in Herzliya, Barnea said Iran had intentions to provide Russia with short- and long-range missiles in addition to the UAVs that it sold to the Russian military.

“Our fear is that the Russians will transfer to the Iranians in return what they lack, advanced weapons that will certainly endanger our peace, and maybe even our existence here,” Barnea said.
