Iran arrested more than 700 people suspected of working for the Mossad spy agency during the war with Israel, state-linked media reported on June 25, in the wake of a ceasefire between the two countries.
Israel started the war on June 13, stating that its goal was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program. A ceasefire was suddenly announced on June 24, just two days after the United States joined the war by attacking three key nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic.
“Since the beginning of Israel’s attack on Iran, the Zionist regime’s spy network has been highly active in the country,” said Fars News.
Also on June 25, the Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency announced that three people were executed for cooperating with Israel.
The agency named those executed as Idris Ali, Azad Shojai and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul, saying they smuggled equipment used in the assassination of one unnamed person. The executions took place in Urmia, a northwestern city near the border with Turkey, according to Iran’s judiciary.
The men were “arrested and tried for… cooperation favoring the Zionist regime,” Mizan said, referring to Israel. “The sentence was carried out this morning… and they were hanged.”
Mossad played a key role in the opening strikes of the war. The spy agency reportedly set up a covert drone base near the capital, Tehran, and smuggled precision weapons systems into the Islamic Republic in preparation for the large-scale operation.
In the first hours of the attack, Mossad operatives deployed suicide drones to take out ballistic missile launchers and used guided missiles to hit air defenses in central Iran, degrading the country’s offensive capabilities and granting Israeli warplanes air supremacy.
More operations attributed to Mossad were reported in later days, including multiple assassinations, forcing Iran to take drastic security measures, including restricting traffic, limiting access to the internet and mobilizing the Basij paramilitary force.
The success of Mossad exposed serious problems within Iran’s security apparatus. Now, the Islamic Republic has a chance to fix these problems.
