The former head of Israel's Iranian desk responsible for monitoring the Islamic Republic's nuclear progress within Mossad's Directorate of Operations spoke with reporters from the Israeli daily, Yedioth Ahronoth about his worries about Netanyahu abandoning the joint cause against Iran. Throughout his time in Mossad, 7 projects led by him or with his participation won Israel Security Awards. He himself personally won the Israel Security Award many years ago for an incredible project. He retired with the rank equivalent to lieutenant colonel.
The Mossad man, whose name cannot be disclosed for security reasons, said that Israel is in a "very, very dangerous" place. "Iran controls enrichment technology. There is no technological difference between the ability to enrich 3%, 20%, 60%, or 90%. Since April 2021, Iran has announced that it has been enriching to 60% as part of the escalation resulting from the United States' withdrawal from the nuclear agreement.”

Israel has one of the most elite Intelligence Services in the world.
They’re reporting that Iran is now 11 days away from having a nuclear weapon & months away from more.

“There is no civilian justification for this. In 2022, they removed most of the IAEA's surveillance measures on what is happening at the enrichment facilities. The US’s Secretary of Defense said this week that Iran can produce material for a first bomb within 12 days. Give it a second to sink in - Iran is one decision away and 12 days away from obtaining enough fissile material for a first [nuclear] bomb."
He then bridged the issue with the current judicial reform attempts and argued that the way it has been dividing Israeli society is harming the aggressive stance against Iranian nuclear gains. According to the Mossad agent, it damages the credibility of the Israeli military threat, because Tehran will assess that Jerusalem is incapable, under the current conditions of Israeli society, of initiating an attack that could degenerate into an all-out war.

In the interview, he praised Netanyahu for his past performance in relation to the Iranian matter and recalled a time when he was sitting in a discussion with Netanyahu on the Iranian issue, and members of the bureau came in and repeatedly asked for the Prime Minister's reference to other issues. "Netanyahu stopped and told them, ‘you don't understand; everything I do, I do for this. That's what we're here for, don't disturb us.'"
“Ongoing cooperation is required in order to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon,” Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant’s office quoted him as telling Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. https://t.co/xORte45B8g

In the interview, he concludes that "in a normal situation, all the warning bells should have sounded. The one who, for two decades, took care to put, rightly, the Iranian issue at the top of the discourse and national priorities, is now dealing with judicial reforms."
