Uh-huh.
Iran really should stop taking so many drugs.
Yeah, Iraq will not let the Israelis have an embassy there but they will allow the Mossad to have a base there.
Erbil is the capital of the Kurdish region in Iraq. Israel supports an independent Kurdistan and has trade relations with the Kurds. So it is entirely possible Mossad has a base there.
This may come as a surprise to you but the Mossad is a secretive organization. The Iraqis did not “allow” anything. When the Mossad was found out they were “allowed” to leave or die. The Iraqis said please leave to the Americans. DJT said please bring our troops home from Iraq NOW. The generals said screw you to Iraq and Trump. There will come a time, if this continues, when those American troops will be “allowed” to leave or die as well.
And spy agencies have “headquarters” with big signs over the door: “Secret Stuff” or “Shhh! Spies at work.” It’s where they train the pigeons and ravens.
