Israel to scale down intelligence in Iran - officials

Israel to scale down intelligence in Iran - officials — RT


Israeli intelligence are scaling down their covert operations in Iran and spy recruitment, Israeli security officials say. This would also imply a cutback in alleged high-profile missions such as assassinations and detonations at missile bases.
Senior security officials told TIME magazine that the move was met with “increased dissatisfaction” by Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency. One security official said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was afraid that the operations would get exposed by Iran. The official notes that this fear is primarily driven by Mossad’s failure to assassinate Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal back in 1997, when Netanyahu served his first term as Prime Minister.
“Bibi [Benjamin Netanyahu] is traumatized from the Mashaal incident,” the official said. “He is afraid of another failure, that something will blow up in his face.”
Western intelligence officials told TIME that Iran had uncovered one cell trained and equipped by Mossad. They also said that the televised confession of Majid Jamali Fashid, who admitted to being an Israeli spy behind the plot to assassinate nuclear scientist Massoud Ali Mohmmadi, was genuine.
If similar revelations emerge now, they could undermine the international effort to pressure Iran to give up its nuclear program via sanctions and diplomacy. Iran could effectively blame Israel for an aggressive spy campaign. This could also have ramifications for Israel’s relations with the United States, which has lately been opposed to a preliminary Israeli strike against Iran.
Mark Fitzpatrick is a former State Department nuclear proliferation specialist who opposes Israel’s shady spy tactic, which is said to have involved assassinations. ”It undercuts the consensus; the international consensus on [anti-Iran] sanctions,” he stresses.
Western intelligence officials’ confirmation of Israel’s involvement in the killing of an Iranian scientist casts doubt on Israel’s claim that it was not involved in the murder of another nuclear scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan.
U.S. President Barack Obama has said that all options are open with regards to Iran. In his meeting with Netanyahu in early March, he called on Israel to refrain from striking Iran and give time for sanctions to work. The U.S. and the EU have imposed sanctions on Iranian oil imports and financial transactions in an effort to convince it to halt its nuclear program.
IAEA inspectors have visited Iran on a number of occasions, although teams said they were barred from sites suspected of harboring nuclear weapon development programs. Tehran has maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, but Israel, the United States and many other Western countries debate this.

Yeah, as if anyone would believe Israel is scaling down operations in Iran, if anything - its increasing to all-time high.

Alternatively, one could claim that the mullahs have stopped assassinating scientists who refused to work on their nuclear weapons projects, since the information released by Iran confirms that the scientists have some of the required background but denies they worked on weaponry.

I assume this intimidation-by-murder has been successful, or reached the point of diminished returns, hence fewer assassinations.

There is more logic that Americans did 9/11 by themselves than what you are implying There are reasonable assumptions, and there are so stupid, its surprising people even think that, like "Iran would nuke Israel as soon as they get nukes", or "Iran is killing own scientists". Thats just... not very bright.

Lol. I understand where you are coming from. That's your mentality, and think others are like yourselves.

You have no evidence for your claim.
Not to mention that your hypothesis doesn't make sense, either. If you want to intimidate someone into cooperation you should threaten/assassinate their loved ones. Why destroy the assets themselves? A dead scientist can't do much good.

Furthermore, this alleged scheme would have surely backfired. Other nuclear scientists will from cooperation, fearing assassination attempts by zionists.

Get well soon, please.

Are you on crack or something?Iran kills it's own scientists in favor of Israel and U.S?
I don't know what they feed you in your media,but it's hell of a rubbish.Even a 4 year old wouldn't say what you just said now.
You Americans deserve Israelis and AIPAC continue sucking your tax payers money,riding you toward the direction they want.Unless some day you wake up,i hope it won't be late.

Read the mullahs' press releases of the assassinated scientists.

Next consider how an Iranian scientist who isn't working on the nuclear projects may feel: "If these people weren't working on the Bomb because they said no, what will I do if I'm asked to do so? If I say no won't I be killed, too? I'd better say yes and do their bidding instead."

^^ get a life dude. Do you think we will spill 1 drop of blood of our people for our agenda against trash like you ?
Instead we have better options, like blowing up some American military commanders or sending the dead bodies of your soldiers to their weeping mothers

Show me where "mullahs" are infering they assasinating own scientists? As I said, thats 100% stupid allegation, or is that the most you can do? In that case everyone is wasting their time pointing it out to you, since you're simply not equipped to process basic common sense

The key bit is their claim that the assassinated scientists were NOT working for the nuclear program.

I admit to being amused at your high expectations of me. Really, if you're an Iranian scientist do you think you regard such thinking as stupid or terrifying?

Wow solomon what new depths do you find to stoop to?
Incredible assumption that you would believe Iranians are killing their own scientists. I think you are either dellusional or simply need to get some sleep. You really have lost the plot.
To my Iranian brothers - please forgive the him as he does not know better - it must be his upbringing...

And? This physicist was questioned by IAEA, and few weeks later he was killed by MEK with Mossad. Previous scientist assassin (done exactly the same way as the last one) was caught and he confessed as well.

Definitely as beyond stupid, maybe it makes sense in you head, but not to any normal person.

Tell me Solomon how you feel when some say Hitler was Jewish and that's why he had so many killed
