| Mossad Chief, US officials to meet re: Iran nuke program | |
| 2006-07-16 | |
Mossad chief Meir Dagan will depart for the United States this week to meet with senior administration officials on ways to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program. His visit was arranged several weeks ago, after the international community demanded that Iran stop enriching uranium and start negotiations. Dagan will likely discuss the current crisis with Hezbollah, as well as Syrian and Iranian involvement in developments on the northern border and in the Gaza Strip. According to a source in Jerusalem, Dagan may have to postpone his visit due to the crisis. During Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's visit to the U.S. two months ago, it was agreed that Israel and the U.S. would continue cooperation on the Iranian front, and that Dagan would visit Washington D.C. for further talks. Shortly after Olmert's visit, the U.S. announced it would participate in talks European leaders are conducting with Iran on halting the nuclear program. | |
