    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Meir Dagan, who was the head of the Mossad from 2002 to 2010, had the heavy responsibility of ensuring the continued existence of Israel. He felt that he had the special burden of ensuring the continued existence of the Jewish state.

    #2 Before the rise of the Shi’ite clerics and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, Iran had nuclear aspirations. The Shah had American, French, German, and Canadian companies queuing up for big contracts with him.

    #3 In the early 1990s, after Khomeini’s death, Iran renewed its nuclear bomb-building program. It had some help from Russia and China, but above all from Pakistan’s notorious nuclear traveling salesman, Abdul Qader Khan.

    #4 The Mossad and Israeli military intelligence agency, Aman, had concluded that Iran’s nuclear program was advancing on two tracks. One was civilian, to generate electricity and for research to help medical and agricultural needs. The other was military, to develop the ability to make nuclear bombs.

      #1

      Meir Dagan, who was the head of the Mossad from 2002 to 2010, had the heavy responsibility of ensuring the continued existence of Israel. He felt that he had the special burden of ensuring the continued existence of the Jewish state.

      #2

      Before the rise of the Shi’ite clerics and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, Iran had nuclear aspirations. The Shah had American, French, German, and Canadian companies queuing up for big contracts with him.

      #3

      In the early 1990s, after Khomeini’s death, Iran renewed its nuclear bomb-building program. It had some help from Russia and China, but above all from Pakistan’s notorious nuclear traveling salesman, Abdul Qader Khan.

      #4

      The Mossad and Israeli military intelligence agency, Aman, had concluded that Iran’s nuclear program was advancing on two tracks. One was civilian, to generate electricity and for research to help medical and agricultural needs. The other was military, to develop the ability to make nuclear bombs.

      #5

      The Mossad had tried to get other countries to pressure Iran, but they were largely skeptical of Israel’s claims that Iran was developing nuclear weapons. Dagan worked hard to deepen the Mossad’s liaison relationships with other intelligence agencies.

      #6

      The Mossad, CIA, and other agencies teamed up to stop the shipments of components that Iran needed to build a nuclear bomb. They were able to do this by stopping the shipments from countries such as Tanzania, Italy, Belgium, and Spain.

      #7

      The IAEA was tasked with monitoring Iran’s program, and they did so fairly well, though they were often stopped from telling the full truth. Mossad operatives considered several ideas for embarrassing the IAEA director, but in the end, he remained strong.

      #8

      The Mossad acquired a laptop computer that contained an incriminating Persian video, which was shared with other Western intelligence agencies. The video showed Iran’s nuclear facilities and scientists, and was loaded with mathematical musings and photos of laboratories and workshops.

      #9

      The Mossad, CIA, and British agencies continued to poison the information and equipment that went into Iran’s nuclear program. They set up front companies that established contact with Iranian purchasing networks. But they also planted many bad parts among the good parts.

      #10

      In late 2011, Iran claimed they were attacked by another virus, Duqu, which was similar in nature to Stuxnet. In 2012, five top Iranian scientists were assassinated by a variety of methods.

      #11

      The Mossad was behind the Iran attacks, and they used dissident groups in Iran to recruit agents and mercenaries. The Mossad also fed stories to dissident groups, which then publicized them.

      #12

      The Mossad, in order to kill Iranian officials, would not use hired guns. They would instead use Israeli spies who had developed excellent relationships with senior Kurds in several countries.

      #13

      The Mossad’s assassinations campaign was having a strong impact on foreign scientists in Iran. The intimidation campaign was working, with many scientists considering leaving the
