Iranian authorities have carried out a wave of arrests and multiple executions of people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence agencies, in the wake of the recent war between the two countries.

It comes after what officials describe as an unprecedented infiltration of Iranian security services by Israeli agents.

Authorities suspect information fed to Israel played a part in a series of high-profile assassinations during the conflict. This included the targeted killings of senior commanders from the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and nuclear scientists, which Iran attributes to operatives of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency working inside the country.

    Many Mossad agents were Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban. They were bought for as little as $200.

    They have every right to defend themselves. I also heard Israel was encouraging Iranian women to reveal their hair in public, fomenting a counter-revolution.
