Israel is denouncing U.S. claims that the director of Israeli intelligence opposes more sanctions on Iran, calling the allegations White House "revenge" over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to address the U.S. Congress on the threat from Iran's nuclear program.
Israel's Mossad secret service denied a report from the Bloomberg news service that quoted sources saying that Mossad chief Tamir Pardo urged a visiting U.S. Senate delegation to hold off on stronger sanctions while President Obama and other world leaders are engaged in nuclear talks with Iran.
"The head of Mossad did not say that he opposes additional sanctions on Iran," the spy agency said Thursday, adding that Pardo told the U.S. lawmakers negotiating with Iran requires "a policy of 'carrots and sticks' …, and there are not enough 'sticks' nowadays."
A senior Israeli official denounced the "fraudulent claims" that Bloomberg reported Wednesday and complained that someone on the visiting Senate delegation leaked details about what he called a "secret meeting," according to Israel's Arutz Sheva news.
"Leaking the Mossad head's statements, even if they had not been falsified, is a serious breach of all the rules," the unidentified source added. "Friends do not behave like this. Information from a secret meeting must not leak out."

Thats bc Obama is a Muslim sympathizer, everyone KNOWS IT.
I just found out that Valerie Jarrett's parents still live in Iran.
1:11 Obama is not a Muslim sympathizer, Obama is a Muslim. Period.
THE ISRAELIS may believe in honor, but they reckon without Obama.
our nation is currently being run by Muslims. period. they are in every agency and hold top spots. do your homework. this is why Israel is being treated like crap. SHAME on us for allowing this to happen.
been watching the Iowa Freedom Summit most of today. we have great leaders who may have a desire to be our next president.
I urge you; all of you to get out there and WORK for the next Republican (Conservative) presidential candidates. We still have hope and a great future for our children and grandchildren, but YOU must take this seriously. This is NOT a game of chance.
Our government must work for the people; not make us work for them.
All Obama and his ilk have done to destroy our nation must be rooted out and destroyed. We must renew our nation once again.
