MI6 chief visits Mossad for talks on Iran's nuclear threat

[Sweetpea]

THE head of MI6, Sir John Scarlett, is to visit Israel later this month as Britain forges closer links with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service.
Iran’s nuclear programme is expected to be high on the agenda in an intelligence-sharing process described by Israeli officials as a “strategic dialogue”. It is building on long-standing cooperation between MI6 and Mossad, both of which have extensive spy networks in the Middle East.
Scarlett, 59, is likley to be briefed by Meir Dagan, 63, the head of Mossad, on Israel’s latest information about the Iranian nuclear programme. It is understood that Israel has made a breakthrough in intelligence-gathering within Iran.
There is mounting concern in Israel that Iran’s nuclear capability may be far more advanced than was recognised in a declassified assessment by the US National Intelligence Estimate last December, which concluded that Iran had halted its nuclear weapons development programme in 2003 in response to international pressure.
One source claimed the new information was on a par with intelligence that led Israel to discover and then destroy a partly constructed nuclear reactor in Syria last September.
Israeli officials believe the US will revise its analysis of Iran’s programme. “We expect the Americans to amend their report soon,” a high-ranking military officer said last week.

worrying, I don't trust mossad one tiny bit. Come to that I dont trust MI6 either.
This meeting could stir up something very very nasty.
I know these meetings are necessary but worrying none the less

Reading between the lines.....

"Scarlett, 59, is likley to be briefed by Meir Dagan, 63, the head of Mossad, on Israel’s latest information about the Iranian nuclear programme." - Scarlett goes out on the piss with Degan.

"It is understood that Israel has made a breakthrough in intelligence-gathering within Iran." Degan has been on the piss with some Iranians in Istanbul and noiw wants to share the gossip with Scarlett.

"One source claimed the new information was on a par with intelligence that led Israel to discover and then destroy a partly constructed nuclear reactor in Syria last September." Degan explains to Scarlett what happens if his wife doesn't get the latests Ballenciaga hand bag.

Bit early to be on the pop isn't it?
