Reporting Highlights
Covert Ops: Commandos that the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service, recruited from Iran and neighboring nations destroyed Iranian air defenses within the first hours of a June assault.
Intelligence Gathering: Israeli operatives recognized the bedrooms during which Iranian nuclear scientists have been sleeping, enabling exact airstrikes.
Cyber Deception: Israel despatched a pretend message that summoned senior Iranian army leaders to a phantom assembly in a bunker that was then bombed by Israeli jets.
These highlights have been written by the reporters and editors who labored on this story.
Within the early morning hours of June 13, a commando crew led by a younger Iranian, S.T., settled into place on the outskirts of Tehran. The goal was an anti-aircraft battery, a part of the umbrella of radars and missiles set as much as shield the capital and its army installations from aerial assault.
Throughout the nation, groups of Israeli-trained commandos recruited from Iran and neighboring nations have been getting ready to assault Iranian defenses from inside.
As described by their handlers, their motives have been a mixture of private and political. Some have been searching for revenge in opposition to a repressive, clerical regime that had imposed strict limits on political expression and each day life. Others have been enticed by money, the promise of medical look after members of the family or alternatives to attend school abroad.
The assault had been deliberate for greater than a 12 months by the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service. Simply 9 months earlier, the spy company had shocked the world with its technical prowess — executing a plot hatched in 2014 by its director on the time, Tamir Pardo, that crippled Hezbollah by detonating pagers booby-trapped with tiny however deadly quantities of explosives. Based on Hezbollah, the blasts killed 30 fighters and 12 civilians, together with two kids, and injured greater than 3,500.
At 3 a.m. on June 13, S.T. and a overseas legion of roughly 70 commandos opened fireplace with drones and missiles on a rigorously chosen checklist of anti-aircraft batteries and ballistic missile launchers. (His handlers within the Mossad would solely inform us his initials.) The subsequent day, one other group of Iranians and others recruited from the area launched a second wave of assaults inside Iran.
In detailed interviews, 10 current and former Israeli intelligence officers described the commando raids and a wealth of beforehand undisclosed particulars of the nation’s decadeslong covert effort to stop Iran from constructing a nuclear bomb. They requested anonymity so they might converse freely.
The officers stated the commando assaults have been pivotal in June’s airstrikes, permitting Israel’s air power to hold out wave after wave of bombing runs with out dropping a single airplane. Knowledgeable by intelligence gathered by the Mossad’s brokers on the bottom, Israeli warplanes pounded nuclear amenities, destroyed round half of Iran’s 3,000 ballistic missiles and 80% of its launchers, and fired missiles on the bedrooms of Iranian nuclear scientists and army commanders.
As that they had with the pagers, Israeli spies took benefit of their potential to penetrate their adversary’s communications methods. Early within the aerial assault, Israeli cyberwarriors despatched a pretend message to Iran’s prime army leaders, luring them to a phantom assembly in an underground bunker that was then demolished in a precision strike. Twenty have been killed, together with three chiefs of employees.
The strategic map of the area has been dramatically redrawn because the Oct. 7, 2023, assaults during which Hamas killed greater than 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages. Public consideration, notably in current weeks, has centered on Israel’s retaliation in opposition to Gaza, which has prompted scores of 1000’s of deaths and a deepening famine that has been globally condemned.
The key struggle between Israel and Iran has attracted far much less public consideration however has additionally performed a major function within the area’s altering stability of energy.
In 2018, Israeli-trained operatives broke into an unguarded Tehran warehouse and used high-temperature plasma cutters to crack safes containing drawings, information, laptop disks and planning books. The fabric, weighing over 1,000 kilos, was loaded onto two vehicles and pushed into neighboring Azerbaijan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu displayed the fabric at a press convention in Tel Aviv and stated it proved Iran had been mendacity about its nuclear intentions.
Two years later, the Mossad killed one among Iran’s prime physicists, utilizing synthetic intelligence-enhanced facial recognition to direct a remotely operated machine gun parked on a roadside close to his weekend home.
Within the lead-up to June’s air assaults, in response to Israeli planners, they organized for unwitting truck drivers to smuggle into Iran tons of “metallic gear” — the components for the weapons utilized by the commando groups.
Israeli officers stated these operations mirror a elementary shift within the Mossad’s method that started about 15 years in the past. The brokers in Iran who broke into the safes, arrange the machine weapons, blasted the air defenses and watched the scientists’ residences weren’t Israelis. All have been both Iranians or residents of third international locations, in response to senior Israeli officers with direct information of the operations. For years, such missions in Iran had been the unique work of Israeli subject operatives. However officers stated the rising unpopularity of the Iranian regime has made it a lot simpler to draw brokers.
S.T. was one among them. Israeli officers stated he grew up in a working-class household in a small city close to Tehran. He enrolled in school and was residing a seemingly extraordinary scholar life, when he and several other classmates have been arrested by Iran’s feared Basij militia and brought to a detention middle the place they have been tortured with electrical shocks and brutally crushed.
S.T. and his pals have been finally launched, however the expertise left him enraged and longing for revenge. Quickly after, a relative residing abroad offered his title to an Israeli spy whose job was to establish disaffected Iranians. Messages have been exchanged through an encrypted cellphone app, and S.T. accepted a free journey to a neighboring nation.
A case officer from the Mossad invited him to work as a covert operative in opposition to Iran. He agreed, asking solely that Israel pledge to care for his household if something went flawed. (Iran summarily executes anybody caught spying for overseas international locations, particularly Israel.)
He was skilled for months exterior of Iran by Israeli weapons specialists. Simply earlier than the assault was to start, he and his small crew slipped again into the nation to play their function in one of many largest and most complicated army operations in Israel’s historical past.
The Origins of a Secret Battle
The Mossad made Iran its prime precedence in 1993 after Israelis and Palestinians signed the Oslo Accords on the White Home garden, seemingly ending many years of battle.

Israel had lengthy had an advanced relationship with Iran. For many years, it maintained a strategic alliance with the shah of Iran. However Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the Islamists who overthrew the monarch in 1979 described the Jewish state as a “cancerous tumor” that ought to be excised from the Center East.
Israel’s technique is, in impact, to guard its nuclear monopoly within the area. It doesn’t publicly acknowledge its arsenal, estimated at greater than 90 warheads. The Israeli air power destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981 and a Syrian reactor below building in 2007.
After the Iraq airstrike, Israel’s prime minister, Menachem Start, declared that his nation had a proper to stop neighbors from constructing their very own bomb. “We can’t enable a second Holocaust,” he stated.

A number of years later, Iran started researching nuclear weapons, drawing on the experience of a Pakistani engineer, Abdul Qadeer Khan, who had as soon as labored for a Dutch firm that produced enriched uranium.
Shabtai Shavit, the Mossad director whose time period led to 1996, stated Israel was conscious of Khan’s travels within the area however didn’t initially detect his essential function in Iran’s program. “We didn’t absolutely perceive his intentions,” Shavit instructed us in an interview earlier than his dying in 2023. “If we had recognized, I’d have ordered my combatants to kill him. I imagine that would have reversed the course of historical past.”
Based on United Nations nuclear inspectors, the Iranians used blueprints offered by Khan to start constructing the centrifuges wanted to counterpoint uranium they bought from Pakistan, China and South Africa.
In 2000, Shavit’s successor drew up plans for the Mossad’s particular missions unit generally known as Kidon — Hebrew for “bayonet” — to assassinate Khan whereas he was visiting what one official described as “a Southeast Asian nation.” The mission was shelved when Pakistan’s president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, instructed President Invoice Clinton he would rein in Khan’s international actions.

That promise wasn’t stored.
That very same 12 months, the Mossad found that the Iranians have been constructing a secret enrichment plant close to Natanz, a metropolis about 200 miles south of Tehran. The spy company tipped off an Iranian dissident group, which went public with the revelation two years later.
Mossad veterans stated that operatives — probably Israelis posing as Europeans putting in or servicing gear — walked round Natanz sporting sneakers with double soles that collected mud and soil samples. Testing ultimately revealed that the Iranian-made centrifuges have been enriching uranium properly past the 5% stage wanted for a nuclear energy plant. (Medical isotopes use 20% enriched uranium; bombs want 90%.)
In 2001, Israel elected Gen. Ariel Sharon, well-known for his belligerent toughness, as prime minister. The next 12 months, Sharon named one among his favourite generals, Meir Dagan, as director of the Mossad. Each had a fame for pushing boundaries and defying norms.
Dagan, who led the Mossad from 2002 to 2011, determined to make stopping Iran’s nuclear program the spy company’s major objective.
Like Start, who was born in Poland, Dagan was haunted by the Holocaust. Heads of overseas intelligence companies recalled visiting his workplace and seeing {a photograph} of Nazi troopers brutalizing Dagan’s grandfather on the wall. Explaining the photograph’s which means at an anti-Netanyahu rally in 2015, he stated: “I swore that that might by no means occur once more. I hope and imagine that I’ve carried out all the things in my energy to maintain that promise.”

Below Dagan’s management, the Mossad organized an array of covert operations to gradual the Iranian program. Israeli brokers started assassinating Iran’s nuclear scientists, sending operatives on bikes to connect small bombs to automobiles in visitors.
The Artwork of Recruitment
Dagan took satisfaction within the Mossad’s rising potential to recruit Iranians and others for covert operations inside Iran.
One key to the spy company’s success is the ethnic composition of Iran. Israeli officers famous in interviews that roughly 40% of the nation’s inhabitants of 90 million is made up of ethnic minorities: Arabs, Azeris, Baluchis, Kurds and others.
Shortly earlier than he died in 2016, Dagan instructed us that “the most effective pool for recruiting brokers inside Iran lies inside the nation’s ethnic and human mosaic. A lot of them oppose the regime. Some even hate it.”
Current and former officers stated Dagan championed the shift to counting on foreign-born brokers. Within the early years of the trouble to penetrate Iran, the spy company had relied totally on Israelis, recognized to Mossad insiders as “blue and white” — a reference to the colours of Israel’s flag.
Below Dagan, the Mossad’s management got here to imagine they might discover extremely efficient brokers in Iran or amongst Iranian exiles and others residing in one of many seven international locations that border it.

Current and former officers stated the recruits fell into two classes. Some gravitated to the realm of conventional espionage, gathering intelligence and passing it on to their handler. Others expressed a willingness to hold out violent operations, together with assaults on nuclear scientists.
Not surprisingly, given the danger of abstract execution, many had preliminary doubts.
“Convincing somebody to betray their nation isn’t any small feat,” stated a former senior Mossad officer who oversaw items dealing with overseas brokers. “It’s a strategy of gradual erosion. You begin with a minor request, an insignificant activity. Then one other. These are trial runs. In the event that they carry out properly, you assign them one thing bigger, extra significant. And in the event that they refuse — properly, by then you will have leverage: stress, threats, even blackmail.”
Spymasters, he stated, attempt to keep away from threats or coercion. “It’s higher to information them to a spot the place they act willingly — the place they take step one themselves,” the previous officer stated.
Essentially the most essential factor is belief. “Your agent should be loyal and emotionally tied to you. Like a soldier who fees ahead regardless of the hazard, trusting his comrades, so it’s with brokers. He goes on the mission as a result of he trusts his handler and feels a deep sense of accountability towards him.”
The general public who agreed to work for Israel anticipated fee for the dangers they have been taking. However the current and former officers stated the driving power for individuals who comply with spy on their very own nation is commonly extra primal.
“Monetary reward is, in fact, essential,” the previous Mossad officer stated. “However persons are additionally pushed by emotion — hatred, love, dependence, revenge. But it all the time helps when the recruit’s motives are supported by some type of tangible profit: not essentially a direct fee however some sort of oblique assist.”
That is how S.T. was recruited.
His handlers stated he was consumed by hatred towards the regime and what had been carried out to him by the Basij militia. However what lastly pushed him to cooperate was the Mossad’s supply to rearrange medical remedy unavailable in Iran for a relative.
For many years, medical care has been one of many Mossad’s signature recruitment strategies. Israeli intelligence has hyperlinks with medical doctors and clinics in a number of international locations, and arranging surgical procedure and numerous therapies was additionally used to penetrate Palestinian extremist teams. It has featured much more in approaches to Iranians, within the hope of persuading them to assist Israel.
The Mossad additionally makes use of the web to draw brokers, creating web sites and publishing social media posts aimed toward Iranians that supply to assist folks affected by life-threatening sicknesses comparable to most cancers. These posts embody cellphone numbers or encrypted contact choices.
Israeli intelligence can mobilize its worldwide community to search out trusted medical doctors or clinics — locations that gained’t ask too many questions. The Mossad sometimes pays the payments instantly and discreetly.
One other incentive used to entice potential spies is larger training abroad. Primarily based on years of analysis and expertise, Mossad recruiters know that Iranians crave entry to high quality training. Even the fundamentalist non secular regime of the present supreme chief, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, encourages educational development. This makes provides of placement in Western universities, or boarding colleges for youngsters, an particularly compelling device.
As soon as a candidate is recognized, the Mossad units up an preliminary assembly in an accessible location — usually in neighboring international locations comparable to Turkey, Armenia or Azerbaijan, that are comparatively simple for Iranians to enter. Different choices embody locations in Southeast Asia like Thailand and India that enable Iranian residents to use on-line for enterprise, medical or vacationer visas.
Candidates bear a collection of conferences and psychological evaluations. Psychologists observe their conduct, usually from behind one-way mirrors. They fill out detailed questionnaires about their private historical past, together with intimate particulars about their household life, and are questioned by a polygraph examiner.
Brokers are frequently retested after they start working within the subject. Each motion, whether or not minor or main, is adopted by one other lie detector take a look at to verify continued loyalty.
They obtain in depth coaching and supervision. To keep away from arousing suspicion, they’re instructed what to put on, the place to purchase their clothes, what automobiles to drive, and even how, when and the place to deposit the cash they obtain.
The agent-handler relationship is essential, as a former Mossad operative who “ran” brokers defined. In lots of circumstances, the handler is concurrently confessor, babysitter, psychologist, religious mentor and surrogate member of the family.
The objective is to construct a bond so robust that the agent feels protected and supported — snug sufficient to share even their deepest private secrets and techniques, together with their sexual relationships.
Any and all details about the agent may be useful to the Mossad, both as a purple flag marking a possible vulnerability to Iran’s secret police or one other side of the agent’s life that the handlers can put to make use of. Among the many key questions: Who’s within the particular person’s social circle? Can she or he use that relationship to the Mossad’s profit?
The operatives who have been assigned to assassinate nuclear scientists on the road acquired in depth coaching from Mossad case officers. They have been taught to experience bikes and both shoot their targets at shut vary or plant explosives on their autos.
The intent was each to deprive the Iranian program of experience and to discourage promising scientists from engaged on nuclear weapons. From 2010 to 2012 the Israelis killed no less than 4 scientists and barely missed one other.
The operations have been managed by Israelis, all the way down to the smallest particulars, usually from close by international locations or instantly from Mossad headquarters north of Tel Aviv, and sometimes by Israeli intelligence officers who briefly entered Iran.
Operation Rising Lion
Over time, the Mossad and Israel’s army repeatedly drew up plans to halt Iran’s nuclear program by bombing its key amenities. Israel’s political leaders all the time drew again below stress from American presidents who feared an assault would set off a regional struggle, destabilizing the Center East. Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, had stockpiled tens of 1000’s of missiles, sufficient to overwhelm Israel’s air defenses and hit its largest cities.
These calculations shifted dramatically up to now 12 months.
In April and October of 2024, Iran fired missiles and drones instantly at Israel. Almost all have been shot down with the assistance of the US and allies. The Israeli air power responded with airstrikes that destroyed a lot of Iran’s air defenses.

The Israeli army had begun planning a bombing marketing campaign in opposition to Iran in mid-2024 that it hoped could be prepared inside a 12 months. With Donald Trump’s victory within the November election, and Hezbollah neutralized, Israeli officers noticed a window of alternative.
Israel’s American-trained pilots had been secretly flying over Iran since 2016 — studying the panorama and exploring numerous routes to reduce the possibilities of detection.
One nuclear goal in Iran, nonetheless, was thought-about so formidable that the Israeli air power had no plan for destroying it. The Iranians had constructed a uranium-enrichment facility at Fordo and buried it inside a mountain — almost 300 toes beneath the floor. Iran tried to maintain Fordo a secret, however the Mossad and American and British intelligence have been in a position to monitor actions out and in of the mountain. President Barack Obama disclosed its existence in 2009, and United Nations inspectors who visited the positioning quickly after discovered that Iran was planning for as much as 3,000 extremely superior centrifuges to counterpoint uranium.

Solely the US had a bomb highly effective sufficient to pierce a mountain: the GBU-57 Huge Ordnance Penetrator, the world’s largest typical bomb generally known as a “bunker buster.”
And so Israeli army planners drew up a plan for a extremely dangerous floor operation, particulars of that are disclosed right here for the primary time. Below the plan, elite commandos have been to be smuggled to the Fordo web site with out being detected. Then they’d storm the constructing, making the most of the factor of shock. As soon as inside, their mission could be to explode the centrifuges, seize Iran’s enriched uranium and escape.
The brand new head of the Mossad was skeptical. David Barnea, generally known as Dadi, had lengthy pushed for aggressive actions in opposition to Iran. He had overseen the remote-machine gun assault in 2020 simply earlier than being promoted to the highest job. But he thought the plans for a commando assault on Fordo have been far too dangerous. Barnea frightened that a few of Israel’s greatest troopers and spies could be killed or taken hostage, a nightmare for Israelis already deeply pained by the ordeal of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza because the assault of Oct. 7, 2023.
Barnea and different Israeli officers got here to imagine that the Trump administration would possibly be a part of an Israeli assault on Iran, with U.S. warplanes dropping the large “bunker busters” on Fordo. Trump had repeatedly and publicly declared that he wouldn’t enable Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb.
The Man Operating Israel’s Intelligence Operation
To organize for what could be dubbed Operation Rising Lion, the Mossad and the army intelligence company, Aman, stepped up their monitoring of Iran’s army leaders and nuclear groups. A number of of the operation’s planners stated that Barnea considerably expanded the Mossad’s Tzomet, or Junction, division, which recruits and trains non-Israeli brokers. The choice was made to entrust this overseas legion with Israel’s most refined gear for paramilitary operations and communications. The quilt tales for every agent, generally known as their legends, have been checked and rechecked for inconsistencies.
The Mossad’s espionage efforts have been helped by a geographic truth. Iran is bordered by Iraq, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Smuggling is a lifestyle within the area, as 1000’s of individuals earn their residing utilizing donkeys, camels, automobiles and vehicles to hold medication, gas and electronics throughout the borders.
The Mossad had developed contacts with smugglers — and infrequently with the federal government intelligence companies — in all seven nations.
“Bringing gear out and in is comparatively simple,” stated an Israeli who has labored with Mossad on logistics, “and the Mossad additionally used entrance corporations that legally shipped bins and crates by sea and on vehicles pushed legitimately by means of border crossings.”
The fabric was delivered to “infrastructure brokers,” Mossad operatives inside Iran who retailer the fabric till it’s wanted. Mossad veterans stated the gear may be hidden in protected homes for years, up to date as expertise evolves or upkeep is required.
Officers stated the Mossad skilled the non-Israeli brokers who would assault Iranian targets for about 5 months. Some have been delivered to Israel, the place fashions had been constructed to allow follow runs. Others rehearsed their missions in third international locations the place they met Israeli specialists.
There have been two teams of commandos, every with 14 groups of 4 to 6 members. Some already lived in Iran. Others have been anti-regime exiles who slipped into the nation on the eve of the assault.
Every had their directions, however they have been additionally in contact with Israeli planners who might change or replace the assault plan. Many of the groups have been tasked with placing Iranian air defenses from a listing of targets offered by the Israeli air power.
The Mossad had code names for every of the groups and their assignments, which have been based mostly on mixtures of musical notes.
On the evening of June 12, the groups arrived at their positions as orchestrated. The Israelis in control of the covert operations directed the brokers to go away little or no gear behind. (Iranian media studies after the assault asserted that the infiltrators had missed their targets and fled with out their gear; Israeli officers stated what the Iranians discovered have been insignificant parts — the equal of gum wrappers.)
“100% of the anti-aircraft batteries marked for the Mossad by the air power have been destroyed,” a senior Israeli intelligence official stated. Most have been close to Tehran in areas the place the Israeli air power had not beforehand operated.
Within the first hours of the struggle, one of many commando groups struck an Iranian ballistic missile launcher. Israeli analysts imagine this mission had a disproportionate impression, inflicting Iran to delay its retaliatory salvo in opposition to Israel out of worry that different missile launchers have been susceptible to assaults from inside Iran.
Officers emphasised that the army logistics of the plan have been the work of Aman and the Israeli air power, which hit greater than a thousand targets over the 11 days of airstrikes. However officers agree that the Mossad contributed key intelligence for one side of Rising Lion: the assassinations of senior Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists.
The Mossad compiled detailed info on the habits and whereabouts of 11 Iranian nuclear scientists. The dossiers even mapped the places of the bedrooms within the males’s properties. On the morning of June 13, Israeli air power warplanes fired air-to-ground missiles at these coordinates, killing all 11.
After a delay, Iran retaliated with a barrage of missiles. Most have been intercepted, however the ones that received by means of did appreciable harm. Israel reported 30 civilian deaths and estimated its reconstruction prices at $12 billion. Iran’s state media put the dying toll of their nation at greater than 600.

The query of how a lot Iran’s nuclear efforts have been set again stays in dispute. Trump has insisted the American airstrikes on Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan “obliterated” Iran’s program. Analysts in Israeli and American intelligence have been extra restrained.
“This struggle considerably set them again,” stated a former head of Aman, Gen. Tamir Hayman. “Iran is not a nuclear threshold state, because it was on the eve of the struggle. It might be capable to return to threshold standing in a single or two years on the earliest, assuming a call by the Supreme Chief to interrupt out towards a bomb.”
Hayman, who now heads the Institute for Nationwide Safety Research in Israel, stated it’s doable the assault might need the other of its supposed impact, if Iran turns into much more keen to construct a bomb that would deter future Israeli assaults.
