How Israel’s Mossad spy network infiltrated the heart of Iran before unprecedented attack to wreak havoc on air defense, missile infrastructure
NY Post ^ | 6/13/25 | Caitlin Doornbos, Nicholas McEntyre

Israeli spies infiltrated the heart of Iran before Friday morning’s Operation Rising Lion airstrikes and damaged the country’s missile infrastructure and air defenses in a series of covert operations.

Intelligence agents with Israel’s Mossad smuggled in weaponry that destroyed defense measures inside Iran, which threatened Israeli military capabilities.

Agents deployed “significant measures” on large quantities of special weaponry and deployed them across Iran, targeting designated areas, an Israeli security source told The Post.

“Significant intelligence was gathered and surveillance was conducted to incriminate senior members of the Iranian defense establishment and nuclear scientists who were eliminated,” the source said. “This was carried out alongside a covert operational campaign targeting Iran’s strategic missile array.”

The stealth campaign was conducted in three separate operations at the same time as Israel launched its airstrikes, each targeting specific weaponry and defense systems in Iran.

Commando units deployed precision-guided weapons near Iran’s surface-to-air missile defenses and targeted the Iranian systems.

A second operation set up strike systems and mounted technology onto vehicles that were launched at Iranian air defense systems.

It probably helps that the majority of the Iranian population hates the mullahs and are more than happy to assist Israel take down the regime that kills them under Sharia oppression.

Excellent point—sometimes we forget just how much the average Iranian hates their rulers—but are too terrorized to speak of it.

Where are all of the hand ringers now? They assured us that Iran could not be attacked or else it would kick off a massive war in the Mideast, if not WWWIII itself. Those who supported the only clear option to stop Iran from acquiring nukes were constantly called “warmongers”, who would plunge the U.S. into another war that would require hundreds of thousands of American troops on the ground in Iran, blah…blah…blah.

The reality? Within only a matter of hours Israel has caused massive damage to Iran’s nuclear program, its missile forces and missile production capability, and to its military in general. Iran launched a feeble attempt at retaliation, consisting of about 100 drones, all of which were shot down or crashed before even reaching Israeli territory. Hezbollah has just officially surrendered to Israel, most of the Iranian senior leadership have been killed or have fled, some have defected, and Iran’s supreme leader has fled the country and is likely headed to Russia to live in exile with his pal Bashar Assad. Qatar, supposedly attached at the hip to Iran, is using its Air Force to defend American bases against Iranian attacks. And the people of Iran are beginning to revolt. Graffiti is appearing across Teheran supporting Israel and asking them to keep bombing.

The Natanz nuclear site, which we were assured by the hand wringers was invulnerable and could not be attacked, is now totally destroyed. Not just damaged, but destroyed. And guess what? There has been no release of radiation at all.

And the list goes on and on, far too much to type here. The doomsayers who wanted to restrain Israel were 100% wrong. To the contrary to their beliefs, the road to chaos in the Middle East was not attacking Iran to end their nuclear ambitions. On the contrary, continuing to stand by while the mullahs acquired nukes WOULD have been the path to chaos and death. Thank God that Israel finally took the necessary steps and that President Trump wisely assisted them by participating in the “negotiations” deception that blinded the mullahs to what was coming.

And no “but…but…but.” Israel just did the world a huge favor, whether they like it or not. And those who were prepared to stand idly by while Iran acquired nuclear weapons should slink away in shame.

Well, I guess you won that debate. Care to offer any fact-based specific rebuttals instead of just childishly calling names?

I think it would be wise to wait more than 12 hours before making such declarations as you are making here.

Doing an end zone dance and cheering war like this is wild man behavior. Iran deserves payback for a lot of things, and for that I’m glad Israel is doing the dirty work for now. To say Iran can’t counterstrike is way premature.

You need to ignore the “mainstream” media sources, who are way behind the curve on developing information, and listen to those who are much more closely connected to the situation, such as Mayer Tousi or Amir Tsarfati. Hezbollah HAS formally surrendered and stated that they will not enter the conflict. Qatar IS using its Air Force to defend American bases against potential Iranian attacks. A huge swath of the Iranian military leadership ARE dead, and the rest of the senior leadership ARE fleeing, including the supreme leader Khomeni fleeing to Russia. Iran’s only significant counterattack attempt so far DID completely fail. The Natanz nuclear facility HAS been completely destroyed, without radiation release.

These are clear facts at this point. This is not one of those “fog of war”situations. Israel has so swiftly dominated the situation that the results are much clearer than usual at this stage. The Iranian regime is crumbling at warp speed, and the remaining rats are running for their lives. There are early signs that the Iranian people are supporting Israel in this, as they want their country back from the oppressive Islamists. Most people are not aware that the Islamists only represent about 5% of the population in Iran. They are vastly outnumbered by those who hate them.

I think this thing will continue to turn much faster than anyone imagined.

This should be a strong reminder to our leaders as we keep allowing thousands of Chinese so called students, aka spies, and allowing the Chinese bastards to purchase property, in many instances near military compounds. What will stop them from pulling off an operation just like the Jews did in Iran?
