As Netanyahu heads off this morning (Sunday) for a week-long official visit in the United States,
Dan Raviv, a journalist with CBS News in America reported that sources
close to senior Israeli security officials noted recently that the
American government has put pressure on Israel “to stop the
assassination of nuclear scientists in Iran”. The report has not been
confirmed by sources in Israel.
In the report, it was noted that the
assassination attempts which were attributed to Israel by the Iranian
government have never been confirmed by official sources in Israel.
According to the report, the goal of the assassinations was to slow down
the Iranian nuclear plan. Up until now, at least five Iranian nuclear
scientists were killed, the majority by car bombs while on their way to
work. Miraculously, the assassins have escaped the law each and every
time.
One of the evaluations reported to CBS News is that the assassins live in secret apartments throughout Iran. Besides the hints thrown at Israel by Obama’s government, it was also asserted that “Senior Mossad agents arrived at the conclusion that the operations have become too dangerous; they don’t want their best spies to be caught and hanged”.
According to the report, sources said that “Netanyahu ordered the Mossad to focus on the chase — within Iran and outside of it — for evidence that the Islamic Republic is cheating the international community in the nuclear deal that was signed last November”.
