Iran claims it dismantled Mossad-led spy network planning to blow up Soleimani’s tomb
[IsraelTimes] Tehran alleges that a group controlled by Israeli spy agency’s cells in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
was also planning attacks against civilian gatherings


Iran’s intelligence ministry announced Monday that it had disbanded a major network allegedly sponsored by Israel’s Mossad spy agency, which it claimed had planned large-scale acts of sabotage in the country.

The agents operating inside the Islamic Theocratic Republic were supposedly coordinated and financed by Mossad "centers" located in Denmark and the Netherlands, and were planning operations in six different Iranian provinces.

Among their purported targets was the grave of Qassem Soleimani
, former commander of the powerful Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was killed in a US air strike in Baghdad in 2020 and is buried in his Iranian birthplace of Kerman.

The network had also allegedly planned to attack popular gathering places and ceremonies during the Islamic month of Muharram, which began on July 19 and includes the Shiite holiday of Ashura, which falls this year on July 28.

Other targets included "fueling stations, power pylons and natural gas plants to disrupt domestic and export supplies," according to the statement issued by the intelligence ministry. The ministry claimed it had also seized 43 "highly destructive bombs," including "remote-controlled ones to be detonated in processions and ceremonies."

The statement also alleged that the Mossad-backed agents had carried out test operations in Denmark and the Netherlands to assess their capabilities, including "hurling Molotov cocktails at governmental buildings, setting fire to banks, ATM machines, buses, communications antennas, etc."

Tehran frequently claims to have foiled Mossad operations in the country, but the veracity of such claims is unclear.

Last December, the Islamic Theocratic Republic executed four people accused of working for the Mossad, while three others received lengthy prison sentences.

Tehran and Jerusalem have long accused each other of espionage activities and plots to sabotage critical infrastructure, part of a lengthy shadow war between them.

#2 I believe that Mossad has more important things to do other than take apart someone's tomb.
