Israeli report clarifies about the attack on alleged Mossad center in Iraq
BLUF: Mossad sez, “Wudn’t us.”
[SHAFAQ] A front man for the Kurdistan Regional Government denied reports of an alleged attack on a Mossad center in northern Iraq as "completely false" on Wednesday morning, stating that this isn't the first time claims have been made that an Israeli intelligence center is located in Kurdistan, according to Iraqi media.

"The purpose of publishing such reports is clearly a conspiracy against the region and its political process," added the front man.

On Tuesday night, a number of semi-official and official Iranian media sources shared a report claiming that an intelligence and special operations center in northern Iraq allegedly belonging to the Mossad was attacked by an "unidentified group."

The Iranian reports claimed that "Israeli forces" were maimed or killed in the alleged attack and promised to release more details and footage "soon." As of Wednesday morning, neither further details nor footage has been released.

A report on the alleged incident shared by the semi-official Iranian Fars News Agency claimed that "Iraqi media and sources have repeatedly warned about the activities of Zionist elements" in the Iraqi Kurdistan area.

The news came just hours after Israel began commemorating Remembrance Day, when the country remembers and honors fallen soldiers and victims of terror.

The report was not confirmed by any official sources, but has been published by the semi-official Fars News Agency, al-Alam News, which is owned by Iran's state media corporation, and Press TV, an English-language news network run by the Iranian government.

The report seems to have originated from a news source called Sabreen based on Telegram. The report cited an anonymous "security source."

The Iranian report comes as tensions rise after an alleged Israeli attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility and reports of a number of strikes by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

An Israeli ship called the Hyperion and owned by an Israeli company was attacked near the shores of the Fujairah emirate in the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, according to reports in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
Iranian officials have warned in recent days that they would respond to an alleged Israeli attack that hit an electrical substation at an underground uranium enrichment facility at Natanz.

Tensions were already high between the two nations after the alleged Israeli liquidation of top Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and reported attempts by Iran to carry out Dire Revenge attacks on Israeli embassies around the world.
