The shadow war between Israel and Iran, which has been going on for a long time in secret, has recently become more and more overt. This is because of the many publications about actions attributed to Israel in Tehran, or about actions that the Iranians claimed to be carrying out here. Alongside these actions, it is hard to miss the number of senior Revolutionary Guards officers who have lost their lives, in one form or another recently, alongside reports of reciprocal cyber attacks.
News commentator on Arab affairs, Zvi Yehezkeli, was a guest this morning (Friday) on Nissim Mashaal’s program on 103FM and spoke with him about the recent events attributed to both sides, along with the upcoming visit of US President Joe Biden
“There is a shake-up and an earthquake in the entire Iranian intelligence community. Look, someone there is sabotaging them morning and evening, and you have seen the activity in the steel plant, the malfunctions they have, the cyber attacks,” Yehezkeli explained. He added that “I think in the last attack even the Israeli government half-heartedly admitted that it was a response to the activation of the alarms. In the end, there is an amazing ability, even above nature, of Israeli and other foreign intelligence to strike inside Iran and clear stables and eliminate senior officials.” .
He stressed that the Iranian general, who was recently arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel, is senior and not junior, and referred to Israeli intelligence capabilities: “Within two decades, Israeli intelligence has changed the discourse on the Iranian issue, and has achieved incredible results.” At the same time, he stressed that the Iranian nuclear project continues all the time.
The commentator explained that “despite the many intelligence successes there is still the nuclear project that is moving forward. I mean, not only is it not helping the nuclear project the Iranians are showing some resilience and continuing the project, and the world is talking to Iran as if it is not attacking or being attacked.”
News commentator 13 attributed the move to the nuclear talks to Doha, to the United States’ pursuit of signing a new nuclear deal, saying that “what is happening in Doha is almost direct talks between the US and Iran with the Qatari mediator sitting between two rooms. “There is no EU reluctance, and the United States can close matters quickly. This shows that the United States” continues to strive for an agreement. “
“On his visit to Israel, Biden will bring us a lollipop in the form of an openness with Saudi Arabia,” he said. “All your actions and your reservations, we are going to an agreement, ‘get used to it,'” Yehezkeli referred to the expected visit of the President of the United States to Israel.
Finally, he referred to the important decisions that the incoming prime minister, Yair Lapid, must make on the Iranian issue: “Here Israel enters a known situation and will have to face the nuclear alone. It is up to the current prime minister to decide what happens to the Iranian nuclear, and the decision will happen soon.”
