According to a new report, Iran’s leading nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed by a team of Israeli spies who used a 1-ton remote-controlled machine gun that had been smuggled into the country.
The team of more than 20 Mossad agents, some of whom were Iranian nationals, spent eight months gathering surveillance and planning the attack before the gun bombed 13 bullets in Fakhrizadeh on November 27 while being driven from Tehran to at his residence, the Jewish Chronicle of London reported. .
The Mossad’s national intelligence agency is the dreaded Israeli CIA counterpart.
The weapon was so accurate that neither the 59-year-old woman nor any of her twelve bodyguards were injured in the attack on Absard, according to the media, which reported that the weapon was fired remotely from a Nissan van. .
The heavy weapon also included a bomb, which destroyed evidence after the strike, according to the Chronicle, which reported that the killing was carried out only by Israel with US involvement.
Israeli analysts have concluded that the death of the so-called “father” of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program has extended the time it would take Tehran to get a bomb from about 3 1/2 months to at least two years, according to the report .
And the Iranian regime has secretly assessed that it will be six years before Fakhrizadeh’s replacement is fully operational, he added.
Sources told the Chronicle that the mission to wipe out the main nuclear scientist from ran was successful, in part, because Iranian security services were too busy watching alleged political dissidents.
A separate account of the dam located the origins of the attack until January 21, 2018, when it said Mossad agents stole a large number of Iran’s nuclear secrets by using torches to release 50,000 pages of documents and 163 CDs of 32 safes.
Sources told the Chronicle that Jerusalem uses the intelligence it gathered to convince the Biden administration, through the International Atomic Energy Agency, that Iran cannot be trusted to comply with the terms of any agreement. nuclear.
“This time we will base our arguments on pure intelligence, not politics. It will be cleaner to do so, ”an Israeli source said at the outset, adding that the secrets would not be new to the US, but that Israeli officials would offer their own interpretation.
When Israeli analysts saw the materials recovered by the spies in 2018, they learned that Fakhrizadeh was destined to “march,” using Mossad slang.
“It contained original documents ordering the concealment of the nuclear program, many of them with Fakhrizadeh’s letter,” a source told the Chroncile.
“Analysts noticed that they were looking at his ink, his fingerprints and his pressure on the paper as he wrote. It was he who was behind the deception, “the source continued.
“Fakhrizadeh was the father of everything we found in the archive. Everything was in his command, from science and secret places to staff and knowledge. He had led an operation to hide her from the world. From that moment on, it was only a matter of time, “the source added.
In March 2020, a team of Israeli spies was sent to Iran, where they met with local agents, according to the report.
“The team built an extremely detailed minute-by-minute plan,” a source told the Chronicle. “For eight months, they breathed with the boy, woke up with him, slept with him, traveled with him. They would have smelled his after shaving every morning, if he had used the post-shave ”.
Officers decided to kill Fakhrizadeh on the road leading east to Tehran from Absard, where he had a village.
“They knew their daily route, speed and time, and they knew exactly what gates they would use to get out,” a source told the dam.
On November 27, as Fakhrizadeh was traveling with his wife in a black Opel along with a convoy carrying twelve bodyguards, a team of Mossad agents watched and waited for the right moment to trigger the deadly rescuer, according to the report .
When the vehicle passed by a designated location, they pressed a remote button that fired 13 laps hitting Fakhrizadeh while his wife, who was sitting 10 inches away, was unharmed, he said.
Iranian officials have claimed that Fakhrizadeh’s security chief was hit by four bullets when he fired at the scientist, but sources close to the operation said at the outset that no one else was killed or injured in the attack. .
“There were several ways to operate, but this was the most accurate,” a source told the Chronicle.
“It was the most elegant way to make sure the goal was achieved and only he. The goal was to avoid hurting anyone, “the source said, adding that the claims the gunmen made to end the scientist were inaccurate.
When the Israeli team fled, the weapon exploded.
“Thank God, we took all our people out and they didn’t catch anyone. They didn’t even come close, “a source familiar with the operation told the source. “His safety was not bad at all, but the Mossad was much better. It was an important thing that happened: a dramatic operation.
