Israeli journalist Yossi Melman said that recent reports on Israeli intelligence agencies' activities against the US need to be viewed in the light of the political situation surrounding Iran within the US. Melman denied that the relevant reports meant a shift in Israel's intelligence work, believing that these claims actually stemmed from a game of opinion between various parties within the US. He said that this incident is essentially a reflection of political differences between the parties over the attribution of responsibility and subsequent influence of the Iranian conflict.
