Ahmadinejad claimed Mossad agents stole documents with nuclear secrets and killed Iranian nuclear scientists.
By Shula Rosen
In an interview with CNN Turkey, Former President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed that a unit the country established to counter the activities of Israel’s Mossad was infiltrated and led by a Mossad agent.
Ahmadinejad alleged that 20 other people working for the unit also worked on behalf of Israel’s top security agency.
He claimed that the agents stole documents with nuclear secrets and killed Iranian nuclear scientists.
The people Ahmadinejad suspects as Israeli Mossad agents working undercover apparently fled Iran and are now living in Israel, he said.
Ahmadinejad was the president of Iran until 2013.
The former president is making these claims for the first time, and they have not been confirmed, supported with evidence or denied.
Since leaving the presidency, Ahmadinejad has attempted to run again, most recently after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a plane crash.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been concerned about infiltration within their regarding the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July.
Mossad agents reportedly offered two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) six-figure sums of money and immediate repatriation, including new identities, in exchange for their help in assassinating Hamas politburo head Ismail Haniyeh, according to a report.
Although previous reports stated that Haniyeh was killed by a projectile fired from outside of Iranian soil or by a bomb planted in the Tehran guesthouse where he was killed months before his visit, the Jewish Chronicle reported a different version of events.
Two IRGC members, who were recruited by Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad, placed a 3-inch by 6-inch “flat brick explosive” under Haniyeh’s bed.
The IRGC men were members of the Ansar al-Mahdi security unit, which was responsible for securing the guesthouse hosting Haniyeh, so their presence in the building did not raise suspicion.
According to the JC report, the explosive device used in the assassination was planted hours – not months – in advance of its detonation.
Within an hour after they planted the explosive, the pair were smuggled out of the country by Mossad agents. According to the JC report, they were provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, along with new identities and repatriation to a country in northern Europe.
About nine hours after the bomb was planted, it was detonated remotely by a robot at 1:37 in the morning.
