Mossad agents snuck nuclear files out of Iran with authorities ‘on their tails’
2018-05-02
[IsraelTimes] TV reports say Israel utilized expansive operational infrastructure on Iranian soil; PM's exposé targeted chiefly at IAEA; unconfirmed reports of mass arrests in Iran after breach
Are we sure this isn’t one of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon novels?
Agents of Israel’s spy agency Mossad smuggled hundreds of kilograms of paper and digital files on Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program out of the Islamic Theocratic Republic with Iranian agents "on their tails," Hadashot television news reported Tuesday night, based on briefings by Israeli officials.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed the operation Monday as he displayed the trove of documents in a presentation aimed at proving that Iran has lied about its covert atomic weapons program.

#23  And I am so pissed at the Isrealies, too, for stealing the technology for the Jetsons car used to spirit off these documents that I was promised as a 10 yo. (At least they added "invisible" to the options offered)
Instead, I'm offered a "driverless car", programmed by SJW's, which still requires a under employed "humanoid" to ride shotgun while playing video games to make sure the vehicle doesn't veer off course into Spacely Sprockets HQ...
I AM THE VICTIM HERE!

#20  Hopefully the story of what happened has been adjusted to protect sources, point guilty fingers at nasty folks, and increase the supernatural reputation of Mossad in the Muslim mind.

#19  Iranian authorities had launched a wave of arrests following Netanyahu’s exposé, and the those responsible could face execution.

For something so trivial as the MSM/Iranian authorities would have us believe? I wonder what's going on here.

#17  Maybe they left some false documents...
Posted by: Bright Pebbles   2018-05-02 12:24  

#16  I would of thought they would of destroyed the place from where they stole the documents so that Iran would have no clue whether anything was actually taken.

#12  Besoeker, thank you for explaining your position, with interesting links as well. It’s important to look carefully at raw intelligence to judge for validity, I know, though it isn’t one of my skills.

#11  In the olden days, the documents would be photographed one page at a time by a secret agent in a tuxedo with a Minox. Nowadays, they just back a U-Haul up to Mamoud's Halal Quick-Storage and make off with the stuff in boxes. These kids!

#10  I thought part of ‘the deal’ were inspections? Nothing to hide? Then let’s meet tomorrow with the media in tow at the Israeli designated Iranian location.

Cat and mouse inspections worked for the Saddam regime until 19 April 2003 when the Canal Hotel (UN HQ) went kabloowi. 22 people, including the United Nations' Special Representative in Iraq Sérgio Vieira de Mello were killed. UN packed up and went home.

Evidently Saddam grew tired of the UN inspection regime. He always maintained he didn't have any WMD.

#9  But will the IAEA care?

No.

This gives the IAEA, also known as crap weasels, more opportunity to hold 5 star resort meetings to discuss the perfidious Juice.

Has anyone asked Barry WTF? We've heard from his slimy toadies, but what about him?

#7  Knowledge of the document's whereabouts, boldness and difficulty of such an operation, timing, etc. I hope it is true, and not a document dump previously paid for by the Obama regime. Did I mention the timing ?

Welcome to the real world Besoeker,

#6  So the Obama Regime are still playing defend the mad Mullahs. Surprise surprise.

Agents of Israel’s spy agency Mossad smuggled hundreds of kilograms of paper and digital files on Iran’s clandestine nuclear weapons program out of the Islamic Theocratic “Republic” with Iranian agents "on their tails,"

I am sure Mossad were wise enough to include their highly paid Iranian snitch on site with the smuggled stash.
