Espionage

Tehran’s Intelligence Ministry claimed one operative was killed in an armed clash, while several others were arrested over alleged plans to target government buildings and military personnel.

No cost-of-living crisis, no debt, no alienation, no anger at the government, and no political despair can justify endangering neighbors and country for payment.

Mossad Director David Barnea praised groundbreaking operations in target countries and highlighted the success of operations against Iran and Hezbollah during a citation ceremony.

According to the indictment, the soldiers conducted a variety of missions for Iran, including an instance in which one of them sent an Iranian agent training materials.

Two Israeli Air Force technicians are set to be charged with espionage for Iran after allegedly leaking sensitive documents during Operation Roaring Lion.

"The silence of European Union leaders and member states in the face of this wave of political executions in Iran is unjustifiable," Maryam Rajavi said in a speech at the European Parliament.

The arrest is the latest in a growing list of cases in which Israeli authorities say Iranian handlers used social media and messaging platforms to make contact with Israelis.

Mizan said the two, identified as Mohammad Masoum Shahi and Hamed Validi, were accused of belonging to a spy network linked to Mossad and had received training abroad.

House members voted by unanimous consent to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) through April 30.

According to the indictment, Abu Abed’s contact with the handler began around October, after she was approached on Telegram by someone who initially presented the work as innocuous paid filming jobs.
