The Mossad worked for months to stage the assassination of its latest Iranian nuclear scientist target last Wednesday, The London Times reported Sunday. Quoting unnamed Israeli sources, the newspaper said that well-trained team of agents working in Iran set up the bomb attack on Mustafa Ahmadi Roshan, a scientist at the Natanz nuclear facility. He also was involved in missile development. Israel has publicly said it knows nothing about the killing, the latest in what has been termed as “Israel‘s secret war” that has pinpointed dozens of scientists and officials who have died in mysterious airplane crashes and in street...

(JPost) — Israel’s Mossad is responsible for training and paying the assassins of a number of Iranian nuclear scientists over the past two years, TIME magazine reported Saturday citing unnamed Western intelligence sources. In addition to the assassinations of the scientists, all of which were carried out using nearly identical magnetic bombs attached to the side of their cars, the intelligence sources claimed Israel was responsible for an explosion at an Iranian missile base outside Tehran late last year.

In other words, Obama condemns Israel’s Mossad for doing something we should be doing. GREENVILLE, S.C (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is saying the U.S. should not have condemned the death of an Iranian nuclear scientist this week. Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan died Wednesday, when a bomb attached to his car by a passing bicyclist exploded. The Obama administration condemned the killing. Santorum said the administration’s public posture does not reflect a hard line on Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons. To about 200 people in a crowded Greenville diner, he said: “Our country condemned it. My feeling is we...

TIME Magazine cited "sources" Saturday who said Israel's Mossad agency was responsible for paying and training assassins to kill Iranian scientists in the past two years. The U.S.-based magazine also quoted unnamed Western intelligence sources as saying Israel was also responsible for the explosion at an Iranian military base outside Tehran last year. Last week another Iranian nuclear scientist was killed in a car bombing in broad daylight, the third to be assassinated in two years, just a few days after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced that activation was to begin deep underground at the Fordow uranium enrichment facility near Qom....

An explosion on Wednesday killed Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a top official at the Natanz uranium enrichment plant, Iranian officials said. He is the third man identified as a nuclear scientist to be killed in Iran in a mysterious explosion in the past two years. A fourth survived an assassination attempt. In each case, someone placed a bomb under the scientist's car. Iranian officials, on state-run media, blame Israel and the United States. "I want to categorically deny any United States involvement in any kind of act of violence inside Iran," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday. "We believe...

DES MOINES, Iowa – Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul’s views on Israel and Iran have been greatly misunderstood, his son Senator Rand Paul said in a conversation with The Jerusalem Post just hours before Iowans voted in the first caucuses for the GOP nomination Tuesday night. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who like his father espouses libertarian views, said his father’s positions on the threat of a nuclear Iran are in line with those of Mossad head Tamir Pardo and other prominent Israeli figures, who he suggested has questioned the wisdom of using a military option against Iran. Pardo was quoted...

"Necessity is the mother of all invention" Paranoia runs deep in today's Iran, as targeted killings of scientists, advanced cyber-warfare, and mystery explosions -all apparently orchestrated by the Mossad- have jittery Ayatollahs placing the country on near-war footing. Yesterday the Islamic regime officially raised the military readiness level, which involves moving defensive assets to key positions throughout the country and other preparations for war and/or combating the ongoing covert attacks. Prelude to a major Israeli and/or US attack...? What really got them thinking was last month's loss of key scientist (and nuclear program co-founder) Maj Gen Hassan Moghaddam. He...

The Begin Sadat Center, a respected think tank based at Bar Ilan University, held a conference on November 23, 2011 on the subject of "Israeli Security in a New Regional Envornment", which focused on the so-called "Arab Spring" and its implicatons. Its experts concluded that the Arab Spring is not going to result in democracy, despite original hopes in the West, and may make things even worse for Israel. "As steep as the price for hitting Iran may be, a military strike on Iran will be less painful than the cost of living with an Iranian nuclear weapons threat," argues...

An Iranian official said that Tehran has arrested 12 people whom it claims are “CIA agents” - and that they had working in coordination with the Mossad and other security agencies. Parviz Sorouri, a member of the Iran government's foreign policy and national security committee, was quoted in Iranian media Wednesday as saying that “The U.S. and Zionist regime's espionage apparatuses were trying to damage Iran both from inside and outside with a heavy blow, using regional intelligence services. Fortunately, with swift reaction by the Iranian intelligence department, the actions failed to bear fruit," Sorouri said. According to a report...

The face of the Israeli terror machine may have reared its ugly head again in the world. This time it has produced yet another massive act of sabotage at an IRG missile base west of Teheran..... However, an Israeli source with extensive senior political and military experience provides an exclusive report that it was the work of the Mossad in collaboration with the MEK.

JERUSALEM, Israel (AP) -- Many of Israel's official websites have gone down in what the government says is a broad technical malfunction. The sites include that of the Mossad and Shin Bet intelligence services, the military spokesman, the Interior Ministry and others.

Israel doesn’t have a dog in the fight, but paying the brunt of frustrationA former head of the Mossad called US President Barack Obama’s policies in the Middle East naïve and his “Obama Doctrine” was destabilizing the region. "Obama chose to support the peoples' populist demands instead of supporting his strategic allied rulers,” Shabtai Shavit told a conference on counter terrorism opening near Tel Aviv Sunday. "Obama didn't think the ruler could be influenced or the status quo would survive and that was political naïveté on his part." Shavit, who ran the Israeli secret service between 1989 and 1996, said...

According to the UK newspaper, a British security source quoted a Mossad agent as...

Information exposes identities of US sources as well as Israeli, Iranian intelligence agents. The original US State Department documents obtained by WikiLeaks were accidentally leaked online revealing the names of sources that have thus far remained anonymous, German newspapers Der Spiegel and Freitag Der reported Monday.

The commanders of the IDF, especially those in the Air Force, are making "increasingly loud" demands to strike Iran's nuclear program, a German news source reported Wednesday. According to Der Spiegel, the question of how Israel will eventually deal with the threat of a nuclear Iran depends in part on a battle of prestige between the military and the Mossad – the latter being in charge of assassinations, and favoring them as a result. Mossad is behind the killings of three Iranian scientists in the last 18 months, the paper claimed. A fourth scientist was wounded and subsequently appointed to...

Following are excerpts from an interview with Swedish-Algerian journalist Yahya Abu Zakariya, which aired on Al-Alam TV on July 23, 2011: Yahya Abu Zakariya: I blame two parties in the West [for the Norway attacks] – the extremist right and the Israeli Mossad. […] You will witness similar operations in Denmark, in Sweden, in Iceland, in Finland, and in Britain. This is [part of] the Zionist strategy of ridding Europe of its Muslim population under the slogan of preventing Islam from settling in Europe, so that Europe will continue to support the Zionist entity. […] According to a study conducted...

[Nothing quite like tipping off our enemies in a time of war.] [We are in a global war imposed on us by militant Islam. Israel is our closest ally in this global fight. If Robert Baer came by factual inside info and leaked it to the press, then he is guilty of treason!] The following from Ynetnews: "CIA official Robert Baer believes an Israeli strike against Tehran is rather imminent; predicts US will have to get involved Israel may mount a strike against Iran in the fall, longtime CIA officer Robert Baer, who spent 21 years in the Middle East,...
