Head of Iranian Spy Group Targeting Mossad Was … an Israeli Double Agent.

The Israelis have proven in recent weeks that they’re not folks you want to be enemies with. They took out dozens of Hezbollah terrorists with an audacious exploding pager plot, they systematically hunt down Hamas terrorists and send their leaders to early graves, and they just wiped out an entire generation of Hezbollah leaders with a massive airstrike in Beirut.
Now, the Islamic Republic’s former president is admitting that the Israelis even managed to penetrate Iranian security services that were… wait for it… tasked with targeting the Jewish state’s intelligence service, Mossad. I’m sorry, but it’s hard not to laugh.
The head of an Iranian secret service unit set up to target Mossad agents working in the Islamic Republic turned out to be an Israeli agent himself, according to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Speaking to CNN Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed Monday that a further 20 agents in the Iranian intelligence team tasked with monitoring Israeli spying activities also turned against Tehran.
The alleged double agents provided Israel with sensitive information on the Iranian nuclear program, according to his comments in the interview, which were widely picked up by international media.

The former Iranian president revealed that the intelligence breach led to some significant victories for Israel:
Ahmadinejad said the agents were behind some key Mossad successes in Iran, including the 2018 theft of nuclear program documents that were taken from Tehran to Israel and revealed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The trove is thought to have been a factor in convincing then-US president Donald Trump to pull out of the nuclear agreement between world powers and Iran.
The head of the counterintelligence unit was revealed as a double agent in 2021 but he and all of the other alleged Mossad moles were able to flee the country and are now living in Israel, claimed Ahmadinejad, a firebrand populist known for his hardline anti-Israel and antisemitic rhetoric and for the violent crackdown that followed his disputed 2009 reelection. He was prevented from running again for president earlier this year.
