‘A desk,” the famous spy novelist John le Carré, famously observed, “is a dangerous place from which to view the world.” Israeli spies haven’t just been operating from behind desks, however. Israel’s long history of operating in Iran is largely — but not completely — one of triumph.
In the early morning hours of June 13, Israel struck Iran, taking out key ballistic missile and drone sites and largely eliminating the Islamic Republic’s military leadership in one fell swoop. Israel allegedly lured Iran’s top military commanders into a meeting only to take them out with a precision strike. It was the largest decapitation strike in modern military history.
