Ex-Mossad chief: Iran operations in 2025 released deliberately to confuse Tehran
The Jerusalem Post • • world
Key Points:
- In June 2025, Mossad released real-time videos of its agents conducting operations inside Iran to overwhelm and confuse the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to former Mossad chief David Barnea.
- The videos showed Mossad targeting Iran’s ballistic missiles and air defenses using drones, revealing a rare glimpse into typically secretive operations and leading to mass arrests by the IRGC.
- The IRGC detained over 21,000 people during the conflict, but Barnea explained that this mass arrest strategy made it impossible for Iranian authorities to identify genuine Mossad agents, resulting in many releases.
- Mossad employed a large network of drones, remote-controlled vehicles, and human agents, including numerous women operatives, to conduct coordinated sabotage and intelligence missions against Iran’s nuclear and missile programs.
- The June 2025 operation is regarded as one of Israel’s most successful covert campaigns in recent years, showcasing advanced espionage tactics and significant disruption to Iran’s military capabilities.
