Israel pulling out all the stops to sabotage USA/Iran nuclear talks

Now MOSSAD weighs into Iran sanctions row at secret meeting with senators: Israeli spy chief warned about ‘throwing a grenade’ into nuclear talks

• The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement confirming the rendezvous in response to a news report that the spy chief had gone 'rogue'
• It also sought to clarify remarks he made to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry about new sanctions 'throwing a grenade into the process'
• The PMO acknowledged that the spy chief did say that, but no in the context being reported; he believes additional sanctions are warranted
• Obama has said he would veto any legislation that further punishes the country and last week begged Congress to give diplomacy a chance
• Senators on the Foreign Relations Committee interrogated administration officials yesterday over their talks with Iran
• 'The more I hear from the administration...the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of Tehran,' Democrat Bob Menendez said
• Meanwhile, House Republicans invited Israel PM Netanyahu to address Congress in March; Obama won't meet with him during the trip  

head of Israeli's intelligence agency, MOSSAD, held a secret meeting with a group of U.S. senators last week, the Prime Minister's Office said today.

And he did in fact bring up the possibility of purposefully 'throwing a grenade' into nuclear talks with Iran in order to get a better deal in the long run while speaking to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

The PMO issued a statement confirming the rendezvous with U.S. lawmakers and what MOSSAD chief Tamir Pardo said to them in response to a news report that Pardo had gone 'rogue' and broken with the administration over sanctions on Iran.

It also sought to clarify remarks Pardo made to Kerry. The United States' chief diplomat said yesterday that an Israeli intelligence official said new sanctions on Iran handed down from Congress would be 'like throwing a grenade into the process.'

The Prime Minister's Office acknowledged today that Pardo did say that, but he did not use it in the context it is being reported, and he believes that additional sanctions are warranted, it said.
