Iran Warns Citizens Against Being Recruited By Mossad
Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence sent a blast text message across the country warning citizens against being recruited by Israeli Intelligence Agency Mossad.
“One of the most important tactics of Mossad in carrying out terrorist and criminal operations in Iran is to abuse the public awareness and people’s ignorance,” read the message.
“If someone asks you to buy a vehicle and leave it in a certain place by paying money, think that you might be abused in a Mossad terrorist act,” added the warning text.
Last year, Israel’s Mossad captured a senior IRGC official on Iranian soil and interrogated him about weapons shipments to Iran's proxies.
Iran International obtained video footage of the interrogation in which a man introducing himself as Yadollah Khedmati, deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) Logistics, said he regrets his involvement in shipping weapons to Iran’s proxy groups in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen and urges other IRGC officials to avoid engagement in such activities.
Israel has allegedly carried out dozens of operations and assassinations inside Iran, including the assassination of Iran's top nuclear man and senior IRGC member Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in November 2020 for which it has never officially taken responsibility. Ex Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen in June 2021 strongly suggested Israel was behind attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Referring to the theft of thousands of Iranian secret nuclear documents in February 2018 from a warehouse near Tehran, Cohen said more than 20 Mossad agents were involved in the operation. He said the agents were not Israelis, adding that all of them are alive and some of them have already left Iran.
