Iran claims it detained Mossad cell planning to kill nuclear scientists

announces that a group was arrested in April on suspicion of leaking classified nuclear secrets.


Iran claimed on Tuesday that it had arrested Mossad agents who were planning to assassinate nuclear scientists in the country.

The announcement did not detail the alleged agents’ nationalities or how many people were tossed into the calaboose. There were no further details given on the alleged plot.

"The arrest of these Mossad operatives came after a complicated intelligence operation that lasted for eight months of monitoring them," said Mehdi Shamsabadi, the prosecutor general of Sistan-Balochistan

province, according to Iran’s Mehr News.

Shamsabadi said the investigation was ongoing and that the individuals would be charged in the near future.

"The case is currently in the preliminary investigation stage and an indictment will be issued and sent to the court soon," he said, according to the state-run Islamic Theocratic Republic News Agency.

The report also said that three people had been arrested two months earlier on suspicion of leaking classified information related to Iran’s nuclear program. The report said the three — named as M.S., M.Z. and A-Gh — were linked to Israeli intelligence services.

It said one of those arrested was a woman who held a government position in an Iranian province but had previously worked for an organization linked to the presidency. Another individual arrested had tried to access confidential information through "administrative and executive authorities."

Iran often detains individuals it claims are linked to foreign intelligence services without providing public evidence.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Monday that Israeli and Ottoman Turkish security officials have worked together to foil terrorist attacks on Israelis in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
"The operational efforts alongside Ottoman Turkish security forces have borne fruit," Bennett said. "In recent days, in a joint Israeli-Ottoman Turkish effort, we thwarted a number of attacks and a number of turbans were arrested on Ottoman Turkish soil."

The prime minister did not include details on the number of attacks, how many individuals were arrested, or the nationality of the terrorists.
