Israel's 12-day war with Iran hit the Islamic regime in Tehran. The nuclear program suffered serious losses, a significant part of anti -aircraft defense was destroyed, and many high -ranking commanders were liquidated.
The Israeli Intelligence Agency Mosad apparently penetrated the country deeply, thus enabling the offensive. The agents knew where the most important generals and atomicist scientists were staying, and they also knew secret military facilities.
Oded Ailam worked for 24 years in Mosad's structures, recently as a high -ranking officer. He explains why so many people in Iran are ready to provide information to Israel.
– Iran is not a homogeneous country. Of the 90 million Iranians, only 40 percent They are Persians. The Kurds, Turkmen, Belżes and Azeria live there. They speak different languages and have different cultures – notes the former Mosad officer. – It makes The government is extremely difficult to control the population. Supervision has huge gaps, this cannot be compared with what Stasi did in the GDR.
“Added to this is that Iran is a huge country and is unable to control all its borders,” says Ailam. – Many episodes are not controlled at all. Thanks to this, you can smuggle everything to the country.
The former intelligence officer points out that Mosad It not only protects his spies in Iran, and if necessary, he provides them with safety, but also their families. – If someone works for us, we care not only about him, but also about his family.
“There are many dissatisfied people in Iran”
According to Ailam, the motivation to work for Israel is “not so much money” but opposition to the regime. – There are many dissatisfied people in Iran. A significant part of society is impoverished. Iran has large gas deposits, but instead of investing this money into their own country, Mulłów allocate billions for terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah.

– to choose the target of the assassination, Not only information is used from one agent, but always from several sourcesTo make sure that you will get into the right one – says Ailam. – Therefore, when looking for potential agents, a lot of time is devoted to checking carefully whether a person is actually suitable.
“Everyone can be an Israeli spy”
In the atmosphere of growing paranoia, the Iranian regime began internal operation on a large scaleas reported by “The Wall Street Journal”. Control points were created throughout Tehran. Armed security forces patrol streets. People are stopped and their cars, phones and computers searched.
Everyone can be an Israeli spy in the eyes of the mule regime. The authorities called the citizens to participate in the hunt for them. Iranian special services have published “tips” on how to recognize alleged spies:
People wearing sunglasses at night or wearing hats are suspected – a wardrobe element rather unusual in Iran.
The appearance and disappearance of unusual times and constantly covered curtains may also indicate spy activities.
The authorities also called on society to report stolen registration plates, pickups with a covered cargo transmission or vans moving at unusual times.
In parallel with mass arrests, the government accelerated the processes and executions of alleged spies. In addition, a law was introduced to the use of the death penalty to all persons sentenced to espionage.
Observers of the situation in the country express concern: in the face of ongoing arrests – even after suspending weapons last week – many are afraid that the government uses repression to systematically combat political opponents and silence the regime critics.
According to Amnesty International data, over 1,000 people have been arrested in the last two weeks on charges of supporting Israel.
