The Jerusalem Post reported Friday that Meir Dagan, a former Mossad director, strongly disagreed with many of Netanyahus assertions. The foreign leader addressed a joint session of Congress on the Iranian nuclear threat on Tuesday.
Iranian missiles will never be able to hit the United States, Dagan said while viewing footage of Netanyahus speech on Israels Channel 2.
The ex-spy chief was also skeptical that Iran could produce nuclear weapons in less than a year. That remark, Dagan said, was bullshit.
It will take more time than that, he added.
Dagan additionally called Netanyahus address a political speech that caused diplomatic and defense damage to Israel.
His withering criticism comes as Netanyahu faces a tough reelection in Israel against opposition leader Isaac Herzog. Voters will pick between the two candidates March 17.
