Iranian Mossad agent details his role in internal attacks on regime during 12-day war

An Iranian Mossad agent, who says he was on the ground in Iran carrying out preemptive attacks as Israel launched strikes to destroy Iranian nuclear sites in June last year, describes his actions in an interview with Channel 12’s investigative show “Uvda.”

The interview with the man, whose identity was kept secret, aired this evening.

The agent says that a wave of rocket and drone attacks, launched from within Iran, destroyed key air defense systems, ballistic missile launchers and targeted senior Iranian military figures, as well as nuclear scientists in the early hours of June 13, 2025, as Israeli warplanes were being sent to strike Iran.

The agent, identified in the show by the alias “Arash,” says that he first became uncomfortable with the Iranian regime when he started school and was indoctrinated with hatred for Israel and the US. While he was studying at university, he says his 17-year-old sister was arrested and beaten for not wearing a hijab. His father paid for her release, but the incident was enough to make the family leave Iran.

The incident left Arash with a deep desire to act against the regime in Iran and help his friends who were still there, he says. In 2015, he began working for the Mossad and received training abroad, he says, including in Israel.

Ahead of Israel’s June 2025 campaign against Iran, Arash says he was sent by the Mossad to Iran, where he was the leader of one of the teams that carried out the internal attacks. They carried out their mission before being pulled out and brought to Israel, he recounts.

“Our mission was to take a special and specific weapon and to assemble everything together and be ready to launch it,” he says. “I was Mossad eyes inside this mission.”
