A Jewish resident of Tehran said Thursday that "the citizens of Iran are completely shocked by the boldness of the Mossad. It affects the economy - the dollar has soared."

Interviewed by Israel Defense Forces Radio about Monday's revelations by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu about Iran's nuclear arms program, he said, "We believe Netanyahu's words and ask how it is possible that the Iranian regime has been fooling people for 40 years and telling us stories."
