On May 19, the Israeli Shin Bet security agency announced that it had uncovered an Iranian intelligence plot to lure former Israeli security officials and academics abroad.
In a statement, the agency said that Iranian intelligence agents used fictitious email accounts to contact Israeli officials while impersonating real-life academics, journalists, businessmen and philanthropists.
Some of the names used by the Iranian agents were Swiss researcher Oliver Thränert, head of the Center for Security Studies and British Journalist Con Coughlin, defense editor at The Daily Telegraph. In another attempt, an agent presented himself as “Nikolai” the assistant of Russian billionaire Andrey Andreev.
The Iranian agents attempted to gather information on the targeted Israeli officials and academics or invite them to conferences abroad, possibly to abduct or hurt them.
“It is a well-known method of operation of the Iranian intelligence and security bodies, headed by the Intelligence Organization of the Revolutionary Guards, Quds Force, and the Ministry of Intelligence,” the Shin Bet said.
All the Israeli officials and academics who were contacted by the Iranian agents did not respond and immediately alerted security forces.
One of the Israeli officials who were targeted by the Iranian agents was former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, who reportedly understood that he was being lured and immediately alerted the Shin Bet.
The plot was likely related to Iran’s attempts to avenge General Qasem Soleimani and nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh. Soleimani was killed near the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, in a US drone strikes on 3 January 2020. Fakhrizadeh was assassinated in the Iranian city of Absard, reportedly by the Israeli intelligence, on November 27 of the same year.
This was not the first time the Iranian intelligence has allegedly attempted to spy and prepare attacks on Israeli targets through the cyber space. Several similar plots were uncovered by Israeli security forces in the last few years.
Early on in May, the Shin Bet security uncovered an attempt by the Iranian intelligence to recruit Israeli citizens via a fake Facebook account.

The Zionist scum need to be wiped out. SLAVA ROSSIYA> SLAVA IRAN!
This story sounds like Bull Shyt. Why is SF even running it?
I agree 100%, IMHO.
The ‘plot’ has all the hallmarks of a cretinous Khazar psy-op. Only rats, Boris Johnson, and zionists would believe such nonsense.
Tehran should coordinate these retaliatory mission with China and Russia to have a better chance of success.
– Dammit Haji, you spooked Moshe Ya’lon!
– Seyyed, I did nothing, I swear. He was already freaked out, I mean, for the love of god look at his face!
– Hmmm,,, What to do… We needed Moshe Ya’lon… What to do without Moshe Ya’lon… Moshe Ya’lon… DAMMIT HAJI!!
Are they really stupid or just stupidly think we are stupid? So we Impersonated real people from real places that can be easily checked without actually having their cooperation, all to “luuuure” high profile people from a very paranoid regime to -of all places- UK or US in order to do something evil to them, I guess. Because we can’t possibly go over there inside their houses or even their streets, no sir!
—- Our boys and girls are all over the place over there as theirs are here. The difference is which side is able to find those people. When you find them, you don’t catch immediately to make a scene, you patiently track and wait until you know all their network, then you’ll have a simultaneous and very coordinated operation to fish them all in one go. Now the real work begins…
If they are so happy to recognize that someone made a prank on them, imagine their delight if they could catch a certain birdie! ;)
Nyah, not me. Haha! Imma nobody mindin’ mah own hat.
I doubt Iran would repeat the same failed tricks, this probably some thing israel created to justify their defence against axis of resistance
“Early on in May, the Shin Bet security uncovered an attempt by the Iranian intelligence to recruit Israeli citizens via a fake Facebook account.”
“In a statement, the agency said that Iranian intelligence agents used fictitious email accounts to contact Israeli officials while impersonating real-life academics, journalists, businessmen and philanthropists.”
Does it sound BS? Because it is. Remember people don’t believe Zion and the fact I have to say it shows how fuking rtded some people are… What, did you all forget that Iran was spying on Benny Gantz?
Did none of you also find out that after that Zion started BS-ing about “uncovered Iranian spy network” bla bla bla. Both of those cases sound BS because you don’t just say “oh we find out what you are doing”- no, wait and see the network grow and find out how your enemy is running their network, and finish the bad blood with them at the end.
Iran for a long time had to deal with MI6, CIA, MeK, Mossad, and other Western spy networks – They aren’t new to this game at all. But Zion on the other hand freely set up spy networks with the help of the host country (mostly NGOs). Even hearing these claims from Zion makes me laugh – I could have done that and Zion knows this as well… emails, FB what is next discord for young ones… I can see these clowns saying they stop the Iranian spy network on Fortnite.
MEK are commies. They have fought against Israel and in support of Saddam.
invite them to gay orgies instead! they will come in flocks!!

Tou can put your money on that that Zionists making up fairytales.
Bacha bazis are doing that.
Iran should explain their support of terrorist regimes, like the one that did genocide in Darfur, or terrorist groups like Hamas.
