Sir John Scarlett, the head of the British Intelligence Agency MI6 is expected to visit Israel for talks with his Israeli counterpart, Mossad chief Meir Dagan, The Sunday Times reported on Sunday.

In a bid to step up what Israeli officials call "strategic dialogue," Dagan is expected to brief Scarlett on Israel's latest information on the Iranian nuclear program, which was described as "a breakthrough."

Jerusalem sources told the paper that Israel believes that Iran's nuclear capacity is more advanced than Western intelligence estimates indicate.

Mossad officials are hoping the unveiling of the new material would persuade the U.S. to amend its assessment that Iran halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003.
