Israel's Mossad 'played' with Iran, smuggled lots of..., Israeli commandos already..., vast spy network...
New Delhi: During the attack on Iran, the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has once again shown its power to the world. Mossad used Iran as its playground. This week, on the morning of Friday, June 13, when Israeli fighter jets launched attacks against Iran's nuclear facilities and top military leaders, its spies had already set up their bases in enemy territory. While Israeli fighter jets were wreaking havoc from the sky, at the same time, spies of the intelligence agency Mossad were running operations on Iranian soil. Mossad destroyed Iran's defense installations
Israeli security officials said that Mossad had smuggled weapons into Iran before the attacks. These weapons were used to target defense installations within Iran. Officials said that Israel had built a base to launch explosive drones inside Iran. Later the drones were used to target missile launchers near Tehran. After the attack on Iran, Mossad took an unprecedented step and released videos of some of its operations. In this, drones were shown attacking missile launchers. Mossad smuggled weapons into Iran
Not only this, but precision attack weapons were also smuggled, which were used to target surface-to-air missile systems. The result of this mission of Mossad was that when Israel carried out more than 100 attacks with 200 aircraft on Friday morning, the way was clear for them. Mossad's plan to disable the Iranian defense system proved effective.
Also, the intelligence received from Mossad gave the Israeli Air Force the ability to accurately target senior Iranian commanders and nuclear scientists. Mossad's spy network in Iran
This operation of Mossad shows how deeply Israeli intelligence agencies have penetrated Iran's important secrets. These operations have made Mossad a nearly invincible force in Iran, capable of attacking its top-ranking officials and most sensitive sites. CNN quoted Holly Dagres, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, as saying, 'Mossad has used Iran as its playground for years. From assassinating top nuclear scientists to sabotaging Iranian nuclear facilities, Israel has repeatedly proven that it has the upper hand in this proxy war and has been operating openly since the first Iranian attack in April 2024.'
A second Israeli security source said Mossad's operations had been going on for several years, including both intelligence-gathering efforts and the deployment of Mossad commandos behind enemy lines. According to the security source, some of Mossad's commando forces operated in the Iranian capital itself.

US: Zohran Mamdani poised to win New York Democratic mayoral primary polls
Zohran Mamdani was on Wednesday poised to win the Democratic Party's primary election for the New York mayoral polls in the United States, CNN reported. His main opponent, former New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo, conceded the contest even as the counting of votes was underway. Mamdani's votes in the primary were below the 50% mark, CNN projected. This would mean that the contest will be decided by ranked-choice votes that will be announced beginning July 1. Mamdani, who is of Indian origin, campaigned for a rent freeze, making New York's buses free, energy reforms and increasing taxes on the city's wealthiest persons. The 33-year-old has been a supporter of the Palestinian cause and has called for Israel to be held to account over its war on Gaza. Since 2021, he has served as a member of the New York State Assembly for the 36th district in Queens. He is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. If elected in the election scheduled for November 4, Mamdani will become the first Muslim and the first person of South Asian origin to become the mayor of New York. He is the son of Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair and Mahmood Mamdani, a Ugandan academic and professor of African, colonialism and post‐colonialism studies. Mamdani's opponent Cuomo was attempting a political comeback. In 2021, he had resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment and New York state's mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic. He had denied the allegations. 'Tonight was not our night; tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani's night,' CNN quoted Cuomo as having told his supporters on Tuesday as the votes were being counted. However, his Spokesperson Rich Azzopardi was quoted as saying that Cuomo may consider the mayoral polls in November on another party's ticket. Mamdani will face the city's current Mayor Eric Adams, who is contesting as an Independent. The Republican Party has nominated Curtis Sliwa.

Both Israel and Iran deny violating truce
After US President Donald Trump harshly criticised Israel and Iran on Tuesday for mounting attacks after his announcement that a ceasefire deal had been reached, both countries denied having violated the truce and pushed back with their own timelines of events. The absence of details surrounding the truce deal added to the confusion about the sequence of the strikes and counter-strikes that took place in the hours after the initial announcement. Trump did not publicly specify a start time when he announced the truce, for example. There are also time differences involved. Iranian time is half an hour ahead of Israeli time, which is seven hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. Yet despite the discordant Iranian and Israeli claims about timelines, the mutual denials of violations strongly suggested that each side wanted the ceasefire to hold. PM Netanyahu of Israel said Tuesday afternoon that the ceasefire had been set to take effect at 7am Israel time. Four hours earlier, at 3am, Israel attacked targets "in the heart of Tehran," his office said in a statement, adding that shortly before the truce came into effect Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel. One hit an apartment building in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, killing four people. At 7.06am in Israel, Iran fired another missile, and then two more at 10.25am, according to Israel. Netanyahu's office said those missiles were intercepted or fell in open areas. In response, Netanyahu's office said, Israeli forces destroyed a radar position near Tehran. By then, Trump had publicly demanded that Israel not respond, describing the last volley of missiles fired by Iran at northern Israel as "one rocket that didn't land, that was shot perhaps by mistake." Despite earlier threats from the Israeli defence minister and military that Israel would respond forcefully to the missile fire, the actual Israeli response appeared to be limited and symbolic. "Following a conversation between President Trump and PM Netanyahu, Israel refrained from further attacks," Netanyahu's office said. Around the same time, Trump wrote on social media that Israel's warplanes would "turn around and head home." Iran, for its part, said its missile fire came as retaliation for Israel's pre-dawn bombardment, and only before the cease-fire was meant to start. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said that in retaliation for "savage" Israeli attacks on Iran overnight, Iran had launched 14 missiles at military and logistical centres in Israel in the "final minutes" before the cease-fire came into effect, according to a statement published on the Telegram channel of Press TV, an Iranian state news channel. The statement made no mention of the firing any missiles after the cease-fire came into force, as Trump and Israel charged. In addition, an Iranian military spokesman, Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaqari, said Israel had launched "three waves of attacks" against Iran on Tuesday morning, after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect, with the last ending at 9 am Iranian time, according to a Press TV report citing a report from Defa Press, another Iranian news agency. Fars, a news agency managed by the Revolutionary Guards, reported that explosions were heard in Babol and Babolsar, Iranian cities to the northeast of Tehran, without providing a time or any other details. Trump first announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire deal on Monday evening - around 1.30am Tuesday in Tehran - and Iran's state television later announced a ceasefire early on Tuesday morning local time. The Israeli govt remained silent until it made its own announcement of a ceasefire at about 9am. Israel time, saying Israel had agreed to the truce. nyt

Iran hangs 3 for spying for Israel; arrested 700 in sweeping crackdown during 12-day conflict with Tel Aviv
In a sweeping crackdown to punish those with links to Israel, Iran said on Wednesday, June 25, that it has executed three men for spying for Benjamin Netanyahu. The hanging comes a day after Israel and Iran agreed to the Donald Trump-initiated mediation after 12 days of heightened conflict over Tehran's possession of nuclear weapons. During the conflict, Iran also arrested at least 700 persons, accused of ties with Israel. The three men who have been executed by Iran have been identified as Idris Ali, Azad Shojai and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul. Iran claims that the three men attempted to bring in assassination equipment into the country. The Iranian judiciary said, 'Idris Ali, Azad Shojai and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul, who attempted to import equipment into the country to carry out assassinations, were arrested and tried for... cooperation favouring the Zionist regime.' 'The sentence was carried out this morning…and they were hanged.'
