Mossad pulled its agent out of Iran, MI6 smuggled him to UK on dinghy – report
2019-02-11
[IsraelTimes] Sunday Express says nuclear scientist with knowledge of program in wake of 2015 deal was eventually transferred to US.

Israel’s Mossad spy agency pulled a nuclear scientist out of Iran and helped get him to Britannia in a joint operation with the UK’s MI6 and the American CIA, the British Sunday Express newspaper reported.

The technician was a long-time Israeli agent who was said to have played a part in the 2012 liquidation of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, an Iranian nuclear scientist and director of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment facility, who was blown up by a bomb attached to his car in Tehran, sources told the weekly.

#6  An emergency call to a tailor,
A decent champagne in a bailer,
A landing at Lydd
By ten Persians, a kid,
And one satisfied, secretive sailor.

#3  Is this the best the CIA can do? Or the Mossad? One expects this sort of thing from MI6, but the escape plan seems entirely Mickey Mouse.

#1  "We were reassured during our interview Iran seems to be sticking by the terms of the JCPOA," the source was quoted as saying. "This is good news."

Close enough, right?
