Israel has always refused any attacks on Iran, yet it has been accused of engaging with it in a shadow war for years now.
David Barnea became chief of Israel’s spy agency mossed in June this year. He said that Iran’s revival of nuclear deals with world powers won’t give it “immunity” from Israeli operations.
The world knows that Israel has opposed the 2015 nuclear deal, and said that it did not take major steps to stop or prevent Iran’s nuclear program. Furthermore, it did not address its hostile Iranian military activities across the middle east.
“Even if a deal is signed, it will not provide immunity from Mossad operations.”
The spy chief even claimed that it had prevented the world from Iran-sponsored attacks.
What does the spy chief say?
“We thwarted dozens of Iranian terror attacks… It is not the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is the terror republic of Iran,” the Jerusalem Post quoted him as saying.
Barnea said that to prevent “nuclear escalation” if the international atomic energy agency(IAEA) stops its investigation into the suspected covert nuclear activity in Iran, he said that investigations should go on.
“It is state terrorism, ordered by [Iran’s] leader [Ali Khamenei] and perpetrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other Iranian intelligence organizations. It is not spontaneous; it is planned, systematic, and strategic terror,” he said.
“Terror is used by Iran as a substitute for diplomacy,” Barnea said. “Terror serves to help the survival of the regime, prevents any change by the Iranian public, undermines the sovereignty of its neighbors, and deters them from cooperating with Israel. Terror is used to extort countries all over the world,” he said.
To slow down Iran’s nuclear deals, Israel has been accused of engaging in a shadow war with Iran for years now.
A major accusation falls on Israel as it might have involvement in the assassination of Iranian nuclear physicist Mohsen fakhrizadeh in 2020. Others include an engineer, a military officer, and an aeronautical scientist.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani – in response to Barnea’s comments – told the Tehran Times: “We do not expect a terrorist regime anything other than terrorist actions.”
Amid this Iran claims that its nuclear aims are peaceful and that the sanctions are within the country’s sovereign framework.
