Mossad chief Dadi Barnea addressed the "With Lavi" operation for the first time, saying: "The Iranian threat, which threatened our security for decades, has been significantly thwarted thanks to extraordinary cooperation between the IDF, which led the campaign, and the Mossad, which operated alongside it, together with the support of our ally, the United States." According to him, "Thanks to precise intelligence, advanced technologies and operational capabilities beyond imagination, we helped the Air Force strike the Iranian nuclear project, establish air superiority in Iranian skies and reduce the missile threat, thereby ensuring the security of Israeli citizens." Barnea added: "We will continue to keep seven eyes on Iran. We will be there, as we have been until now."
