Mossad is barely visible. Iran got carried away with fake spies and missed the blow

[REGNUM] Iran and Israel continue to trade blows. After yesterday's massive attack on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure, Tehran responded in kind, striking Israeli army command posts (including the Hakirya command complex) and the General Staff. It attacked the nuclear center in Dimona in retaliation for the strike on the enrichment plant in Natanz.
However, another, no less interesting battle was left out of the spotlight. An espionage operation was launched on Iranian territory, which largely predetermined the success of the first stages of the Israeli operation.
FALSE TRAIL
A few weeks ago, an unremarkable piece of news, at first glance, swept through Iranian resources.
Computer specialist Armin Rad (also known by his pseudonym Ayoub Taytiz) was arrested by Iranian counterintelligence on charges of forgery and deception of intelligence services.
Rad, who has worked closely with the Iranian cyber police and the IRGC in recent years and was considered one of the court hackers, came up with a very unusual way to make money.
He created social media accounts that allegedly belonged to émigré opposition forces and groups – the “Organization of the Mujahideen of the Iranian People” and the “Shah’s Assembly of Iran” (“Tondar”) – pumped information out of them and announced successful “hacking” of opponents.
The data pumped out by Rad was sent to counterintelligence and used, among other things, in planning operational activities. Moreover, in his reports he did not skimp on details and particulars: he wrote down conditional addresses and passwords, “revealed” schemes of operations allegedly directed against the Iranian authorities.
Moreover, the absence of arrests “in the wake” of Rad’s revelations was explained simply: the accounts he hacked allegedly belonged exclusively to foreign underground figures, and the agents in Iran used other means of communication.
The “ghost network” was exposed by accident, after Rad “began making frequent revelations” that were not confirmed upon subsequent investigation.
The real damage from disinformation to the Iranian authorities has yet to be calculated. So far, Radu is not charged with the most serious articles of the national criminal code (such as extortion and hooliganism), but the charges may be more serious.
Counterintelligence was deeply hurt by the fact that it had spent so much time hunting for an agent network that never really existed.
Especially in conditions when they had very real opponents operating right next to them (as it turned out a little later), and Rad, willy-nilly, played along with them.
SECRET IMPORT OF WEAPONS
Several months before Operation Lion Force, Israel had deployed several Mossad intelligence teams and army commandos into Iranian territory. Tel Aviv had set them an ambitious task: to “open the skies” for strike aircraft.
In the first phase of the operation, agents smuggled large quantities of specialized weapons designed to disable air and missile defense systems into Iran and dispersed them throughout the country.
Jamming devices were deployed near the positions of Iranian anti-aircraft systems, and launch systems for kamikaze UAVs were installed on vans and SUVs.
To carry out covert operations in some areas of the country, local residents, mainly representatives of ethnic and religious minorities, were additionally recruited.
The result of the sabotage even exceeded the expectations of the Israeli command. The abandoned agents not only managed to remain in the shadows until the start of the operation, but also reached objects whose defenses seemed impossible to overcome.
Thus, the Israelis were able to attack the Aspehbad base, located near the Iranian capital - the very one that housed the advanced ballistic missiles that Iran had only recently put into service.
According to some reports, the same group was involved in “illuminating” the facility where a meeting of high-ranking IRGC officers was held on June 13.
The subsequent strike killed IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, UAV Forces Commander Taher Pour, and Air Defense Commander Daoud Shaykian.
This allowed for some time not only to blind, but also to effectively decapitate Iran's air defense, opening the way for the next waves of Israeli fighters.
HUNTING FOR SABOTEURS
However, the saboteurs apparently failed to exploit their success. Tehran quickly jammed mobile communications and the Internet, making it difficult to control the drones that the saboteurs launched.
Despite the damage suffered during the initial stage of the operation, Iran's air defense allegedly managed to shoot down several Israeli aircraft and take the pilot prisoner. Subsequent Israeli air raids into Iranian airspace took place under conditions of dense barrage fire.
Later, Iranian security forces reported intercepting several suspicious vehicles in different parts of the country. For example, a van with a UAV was stopped near Zanjan, and in Kermanshah, a car registered to a local resident was stopped, in which launch containers were installed.
It is also reported that some of the saboteurs and their accomplices have been captured.
And the arrests continue. Searches and inspections have begun in police departments in border areas, in auto repair shops and at customs - everywhere where Israel could hypothetically have introduced its agents.
Overall, the Iranian secret services were able to contain the attack, albeit not without accompanying losses. Now they are making their move. And the scale is expected to be at least no less than the Israeli operation.
