Report: Mossad Cuts Back On Operations In Iran
2012-03-31
[Ynet] The Mossad has scaled back covert operations inside Iran, cutting efforts to disable or delay the Islamic Theocratic Republic's nuclear program "by dozens of percents" in recent months, Time magazine reported, citing senior Israeli security officials.
 
A wide array of operations were cut, including alleged high-profile missions such as liquidations and detonations at Iranian missile bases and efforts to gather intelligence and recruit spies inside the Iranian program, according to the report.
Let us hope someone is playing fast and loose with the facts. If not, we know who to blame for forcing the Israelis to back off.
I think we file this under 'disinformation'...

#8  All those mysterious explosions yet to happen, all those whacked scientists, nope, not us. No way. We're gone.
P.S. Please don't throw us in the briar patch.

Of course, another way to look at this is they are pulling their guys out before the bombs start to fall.

#7  If somebody is ratting out your secret bases and plans and stuff, then you need to stop with the secret stuff and work on finding the rat.

#1  Yeah, file under "disinformation." I doubt the Israeli's are going to scale down their activities. However, when significant leaks are coming from your assumed ally, the WH, they just might begin to think they have two enemies to deal with and that's like swimming through mud.
