Witch-hunt in Iran: Executions and mass arrests for spying for Mossad

Khamenei's agents have been arresting people uncontrollably in the last 24 hours who they consider to have collaborated with the Israelis and summarily "trying" and executing them

Newsroom June 18 09:30

 

The number of those arrested by the Revolutionary Guards intelligence agency on charges of espionage against Israel, with another execution on Monday.

Another man who “confessed” by summary execution – i.e. torture – was executed by the regime on Monday, and he is not the first.

His case adds, according to an Economic Times report, to an unknown number of similar cases in which all the defendants – the number of whom remains unknown, “confessed” to collaborating with Israel’s Mossad.

The infiltration of Israel’s notorious intelligence agency deep inside the theocratic Iran over many years, by all accounts, and the spectacular strikes it has pulled off, have terrified Khamenei’s intelligence agency.

Its agents see Mossad agents everywhere and in the last 24 hours have engaged in a witch hunt along the lines of the Inquisition in the Middle Ages. They are rampantly rounding up people who they believe have collaborated with the Israelis and summarily “trying” and executing them, wanting to show that they are doing a job.

Their executions are not carried out in public view because of the war, something the Mullahs’ regime would love to do to further terrorize the civilians. It also remains unknown whether those executed were related to Israeli agents or if they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and were arrested.

Such is the paranoia about the invisible agents of the Institute – that’s what they call Mossad – that special instructions were given to the Iranians by the country’s intelligence agency. According to it, those who walk around wearing sunglasses, masks, those carrying large bags and those driving trucks or large pick-up trucks are suspects, as are those who are perceived to be filming military or nuclear facilities and industrial sites.

They had been infiltrated for years

What seems to have been completely missed by the Iranians, despite the impressive achievements of the Israelis inside their own country, is that Mossad had infiltrated deep inside the country with its cadres of agents for years.

Scales in which each had a specific mission to accomplish and which included hitmen, drone operators, a surveillance team, and recruiters.

The latter were the ones who reportedly managed to attract too many Iranian dissidents, who helped them on not a few occasions and in missions that left the international community speechless, such as the execution of nuclear program director Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

According to Western officials and analysts with in-depth knowledge of the intelligence community, the final decision to give the go-ahead for the operation was made a year before it was to take place.

In such missions, which have a huge degree of difficulty, Fahrizadeh had been closely monitored by Mossad and Iranians recruited by the Israelis.

All his movements were put under the microscope, and after a few months of constant surveillance, Mossad knew his daily schedule, his habits, the number of bodyguards he had, and the routes he took to get to work or his country house.

The rest was taken care of by the Quinton-the invisible Mossad hit squad- in a stunning strike that wrote another brilliant operational chapter in its history.

The Resourceful

The Wall Street Journal’s extensive journalistic investigation uncovered unknown details of the operation Mossad conducted before the attack on Iran.

It points out, among other things, that it was a multi-year mission through which hundreds of drones equipped with explosives were smuggled into the Mullah state, conducting what was in essence a smuggling operation through commercial channels.
At the same time, he placed highly trained agents near air defense and missile launching facilities, and they made sure to take out dozens of them when the Israeli attack began.

Thu,s the F-35s met almost no resistance when they targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, and it is typical of the operation that 70 fighters operated for two hours deep into the Iranian hinterland, wreaking havoc.
