The Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad detained the Iranian agent who was entrusted with the liquidation of three people – the Israeli diplomat, the Army General of the United States and the French Jewish journalist.
According to Haqqin.az, citing Israeli media, information about the prevention of a series of murders planned by Iranian special services appeared last weekend on one of the news channels of the UK.
Later, Israeli officials confirmed that Mossad really conducted such an operation, arresting and interrogating a citizen of Iran named Mansur Rasuli sent to Europe to commit a series of murders.
It is reported that the liquidation was planned by the special forces of the Corps of the Islamic Revolution of Al-Kuds. On the video posted in one of the British publications, Mansur Rasuli claims that he is an employee of the group 840 forces Al-Kuds, who plans and performs operations of the Xirir abroad.
Rasuli, in particular, admitted that he received $ 150,000 for planning the murder of an Israeli consulate employee in Istanbul, an American general serving at one of the US military bases in Germany, and a French Jewish journalist. After the successful completion of the operation, Rasuloli was supposed to receive a fee of one million dollars.
In the video, Rasuli claims that, having agreed to participate in this operation, he “made a big mistake” and promises to refrain from such actions.
Earlier, Iran International reported that the video was shot after the arrest of Iranian in Istanbul. However, the Israeli media later clarified that the people of Mossad arrested and interrogated Mansur Rasuloli directly in Iran, after which, forcing him to make a deal, transported Rasuli to Turkey, where they imitated a special operation to arrest him.
According to the documents submitted by the Mossad agents, the scheduled murders should have been held by the hands of international drug dealers.
Israeli media recall that in September last year, Mossad also disrupted the plan of Iranian special services related to the murder of several prominent Israeli businessmen in Cyprus. To do this, the XIR sent their agent, a 38-year-old citizen of Russia and the ethnic Azerbaijani Orhan Assadov.
Later it turned out that, even before arriving in Limasol, Assadov was already under the dense supervision of Israeli foreign intelligence, which passed the Cypriots all the data about him.
September 27, 2021 Orhan Assadov, together with several improvised ones, was detained by the Cyprus counterintelligence and is currently under court.
