According to Diskin, attacking Iran would accelerate Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions, rather than delay them. \u201dThe Israeli public is being spun on Iran, what worries me is that, we are creating a sense that if Israel doesn\u2019t act than Iran will get a nuclear bomb,\u201d said Diskin. He expressed worry that the incompetence of the current leadership could lead \u201cinto something of the order of magnitude of a war with Iran or a regional war.\u201d Opposition leader Shaul Mofaz defended Diskin\u2019s criticism of Israeli leadership and said that Diskin was acting out of \u201cdeep concern\u201d for the direction in which the leadership was steering the country. Former Mossad Chief Meir Dagan has also has repeatedly made public statements expressing his view that an Israeli strike on Iran \u201cwould be a disaster.   <a href=\"http:\/\/pomed.org\/blog\/2012\/04\/former-head-of-israeli-intelligence-service-slams-israels-leadership.htm\" target=\"_blank\">&#8230;more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"igit_tsb_button\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crookedbough.com%2F%3Fp%3D9274&amp;text=Netanyahu%27s+warmongering+toward+Iran+reckless+and+leadership+%E2%80%9Cmessianic%E2%80%9D+in+nature+says+former+Mossad+Chief+Meir+Dagan&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via=\" style=\"\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Head of Israeli Intelligence Service Slams Israel\u2019s Leadership 30 April, 20120 &#8211; POMED Recently retired Yuval Diskin, former head of Israeli intelligence service Shin Bet, called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak\u2019s leadership \u201cmessianic\u201d and accused them of promoting a war on Iran.
