The Israelis have proven in recent weeks that they’re not folks you want to mess with. They took out dozens of Hezbollah terrorists with an audacious exploding pager plot, they systematically hunt down Hamas terrorists and send their leaders to early graves, and they just wiped out an entire generation of Hezbollah leaders with a massive airstrike in Beirut.
If you’re an anti-Israel terrorist these days, it must be hard getting to sleep. There’s a good chance you won’t wake up.
Now, the Islamic Republic’s former president is admitting that the Israelis even managed to penetrate Iranian security services that were… wait for it… tasked with targeting the Jewish state’s intelligence service, Mossad. I’m sorry, but it’s hard not to laugh.
The head of an Iranian secret service unit set up to target Mossad agents working in the Islamic Republic turned out to be an Israeli agent himself, according to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Speaking to CNN Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed Monday that a further 20 agents in the Iranian intelligence team tasked with monitoring Israeli spying activities also turned against Tehran.
The alleged double agents provided Israel with sensitive information on the Iranian nuclear program, according to his comments in the interview, which were widely picked up by international media.
It would seem to be even too much for a paperback thriller, because no one would believe it.
