In a startling revelation, Israeli security officials have claimed that Mossad, Israel’s elite spy agency, successfully smuggled weapons—including explosive drones and precision-guided systems—into Iran ahead of Friday’s targeted strikes. These covert operations, the officials say, enabled attacks on Tehran’s missile launchers from within Iranian territory.
Speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the information, two Israeli security officials disclosed that Mossad agents had established a base inside Iran specifically to launch drones, which were reportedly activated during Friday’s assault to strike a military installation near the capital.
According to the sources, Mossad not only infiltrated explosive drones but also transported high-precision weapons and concealed them close to Iran’s surface-to-air missile systems. These weaponized systems—some reportedly mounted on vehicles—were synchronized to strike Iranian defences as part of the broader operation.
There has been no official comment from Israeli authorities, and the claims could not be independently verified. If accurate, this would represent one of Mossad’s most daring operations in recent years—executing sabotage deep inside hostile territory using assets planted well before the main offensive.
The alleged operation signals a major escalation in Israel’s intelligence and military strategy against Iran, potentially redefining the scope of clandestine warfare in the region.
