On April 30, Washington hosted a meeting between US President Joe Biden and the head of the Israeli Mossad Foreign Intelligence Service Yossi Cohen, which confirmed the inextricable link between the two states and their national intelligence services in the implementation and planning of a series of joint hostile actions against Iran.
The confrontation between Israel and Iran, with the active participation of Israeli and American intelligence services, has long been, to a large extent, a war. Israel’s secret subversive actions against Tehran have repeatedly been recognized by Tel Aviv as a national strategy. Among the largest operations of the Israeli Mossad is inciting separatist sentiments in Iran. A number of covert operations by Israeli intelligence services have been carried out over the past twenty years against Iranian nuclear facilities, assassinations and assassinations of many Iranian scientists associated with the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic.
The United States took an active part in a significant part of these covert Israeli operations, in particular, in the assassination in Iraq on January 3, 2020 of the commander of the special forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qasem Soleimani.
The theme of the past meeting of the head of the Mossad with the American president is very clear, as is the discussion during the talks not only of information about Iran, but also of future subversive operations, to which Joe Biden gave his consent.
Given the recent joint attempt by the United States and Israel to embroil Tehran with Baghdad, similar provocative actions involving the Mossad and the CIA will certainly continue, including against other Iranian allies, including Russia and China.
Joe Biden and Yossi Cohen summed up the American-Israeli contacts that began at the end of April in Washington. Earlier, there was a meeting between US Assistant to the President for National Security Jake Sullivan and the head of the Israeli National Security Council Meir Ben Shabbat, which was also attended by the candidate for the post of Assistant Secretary of State for Middle East Affairs Barbara Leaf, White House coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk, Ambassador Israel in the US Gilad Erdan and Mossad intelligence chief Yossi Cohen.
Jake Sullivan and Meir Ben Shabbat lead the US-Israel Bilateral Security Strategic Team. The main goal of this group is to discuss and work out joint steps towards Iran.
The United States and Israel have agreed to set up an intergovernmental working group to counter the unmanned aerial vehicles and precision guided missiles that Iran manufactures. Given the serious concerns expressed by Ben Shabbat about the advancement of the Iranian nuclear program, the United States provided Israel with detailed information on the talks in Vienna on Iran’s nuclear program and emphasized their country’s strong interest in holding close consultations with Tel Aviv on the nuclear issue. At the same time, as indicated in the White House, Washington and Israel consider Iran’s behavior aggressive in the Middle East region. US officials emphasized President Biden’s support for Israel’s “right to self-defense,” that is, the continuation of actions hostile to Iran.
The current intensification of the American-Israeli opposition to Iran is taking place against the background of Israel’s unwinding of a spiral of various actions against Iran, the exchange of strikes on ships that has recently become more frequent. This is due to an incident in April this year, when the US Navy clashed with the Iranians at sea: in the northern part of the Persian Gulf, warning shots were fired at three boats of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, approaching American ships at a distance of about 62 meters.
In turn, the discussion of joint US-Israeli actions against Iran is taking place in parallel with the negotiations in Vienna on Iran’s nuclear program, during which Washington, with its rhetoric, is trying to show Tehran its peaceful intentions towards the Islamic Republic. However, such a two-faced policy pursued by the United States in recent years is no longer surprising. This policy of double standards by Washington continues to heat up the situation in the Middle East. It is not only about the confrontation between Iran and Israel, but also about Syria, the country on which this conflict is constantly projected. And the settlement of the situation in the region is certainly not in the interests of the United States.
