In his recent meetings in Washington, DC Mossad chief Tamir Pardo aimed to discover how the US would react were Israel to unilaterally attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, Newsweek reported Monday.

The report also said “Israel has stopped sharing a significant amount of information with Washington regarding its own military preparations” over the Iran nuclear issue.
