Here's hoping the Persian peeps can be dissuaded from doing anything too stupid.
From the Jerusalem Post, July 10:
How have Iran's intelligence forces broken down in face of explosions?
What the world is witnessing right now is someone hitting Iranian nuclear and conventional weapons and IRGC facilities practically at will
Iran is facing a total intelligence breakdown.
With another explosion on Thursday night, reportedly at an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facility, the question is not only how anyone has pulled off up to seven attacks in around two weeks, but how has the Islamic Republic repeatedly failed to stop them.
From 2010-2013, the regime succeeded in cracking a CIA cell and eliminated many CIA operatives.
Even when the US and Israel, according to foreign reports, breached Iran's security for its nuclear program with the Stuxnet virus in 2009-2010, they had to use assets of Dutch intelligence. In general, Iranian counterintelligence is known to perform at a much higher level than most of Israel's other adversaries. Sometimes they falsely announce arrests of Mossad agents who are just political opposition members, but sometimes they can flush out spies at a professional level closer to the world's top powers.Until Israel's January 2018 operation seizing Iran's nuclear secrets, Iranian territory was thought of as much harder to penetrate than Syrian territory, where Israel has admitted to thousands of intelligence and airstrike operations........MUCH MORE
The CIA communications failure in Iran and the similar (and possibly related) failure in China should really be investigated beyond what has already been done.
They really, really should be.
