Iran Replaces Suspected Israeli Mole With Unsuspected Israeli Mole

Israel’s penetration of Iran’s security apparatus is so thorough and comprehensive that whoever gets shuffled into new positions is just as likely, and perhaps more likely, than his predecessor, to be working for the Mossad.

KazemiTehran, July 7 – A spate of security failures and breaches in sensitive areas of the Islamic Republic’s military-industrial apparatus that most officials and analysts attribute to Mossad operations has led the Ayatollah regime to conduct a shakeup of personnel responsible for that security to remove high-level figures who failed to detect or prevent those operations, or who, the regime fears, acted on behalf of the Mossad themselves. As a result, observers note, the mullahs have moved aside one official whose performance cast doubt on his loyalty, in favor of one of the myriad others who have already committed to helping the Jewish State, but Tehran does not know.

Iran relegated Hossein Taeb, the former head of its intelligence, counterintelligence, and domestic enforcement services, to a ceremonial role two weeks ago after numerous acts of sabotage on internal facilities and personnel related to the regime’s pursuit of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and other malicious activities in the region. The ayatollahs fear that Israel has compromised the programs those agencies oversee, with the yet-unproven possibility that Mr. Taeb has himself, wittingly or unwittingly, enabled Israel to act with seeming impunity almost anywhere in Iran. Taeb’s replacement, General Mohammed Kazemi of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, will take charge of the reorganization – but while the mullahs believe they have vetted Kazemi, he, too, serves Israeli interests.

“It’s not just Kazemi,” explained an analyst who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. “Israel’s penetration of Iran’s security apparatus is so thorough and comprehensive that whoever gets shuffled into new positions is just as likely, and perhaps more likely, than his predecessor, to be working for the Mossad. The more time passes, the more unstable things get, and the more openings Israel has to recruit. Even I might be Mossad. You can’t be sure.”

Other whispers among observers concern the possibility that the Mossad has compromised Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei himself. “That actually would explain a lot,” acknowledged a former law enforcement official with contacts in the relevant agencies. “Certain decisions by the national leadership only make sense if you assume the people making those decisions don’t have Iran’s best interests in mind. What comes to mind first is shooting down that Ukrainian passenger jet after the assassination of [IRGC chief Qassem] Soleimani several years ago. Idiotic move. Unless you start with the premise that whoever authorized it is trying to harm Iran.”
