JERUSALEM – The Hebrew Broadcasting Corporation said on Tuesday that the Georgian security services thwarted an “Iranian plan” to assassinate an Israeli businessman in the midst of an intelligence war between Tehran and Tel Aviv and mutual liquidations.
The Broadcasting Authority stated that “Georgia announced that the local security services thwarted an assassination plan for an Israeli businessman by a cell led by an Iranian citizen.
”
She added: “The cell consisted of a Pakistani citizen and dual nationals, Iranian and Georgian. ” Follow -up “as part of the arrests, the Georgian police confiscated ammunition and weapons, in addition to phones. ”
She indicated that “the cell followed the businessman and received money and instructions from an Iranian citizen residing abroad.
” She added, “In the announcement of the Georgian authorities, it was stated that in order to hide their effects, the cell members did not meet face to face, but they were able to transport weapons between them by hiding them in hideouts. ”
She explained that “the murderer arrived in Georgia through a third country (it was not named). ” While there was no comment from the Israeli authorities on this information or the name of the target businessman, Tehran did not immediately comment on this.
Observers believe that the conflict between Israel and Iran is mainly an intelligence struggle, as the two sides carried out bombing attacks that affected sensitive sites and assassinations or attempts to target certain personalities.
Many high -ranking Iranian scientists or political and security officials have been killed in the past decade, including nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhry Zadeh, who was killed near Tehran in an attack targeting his motorcade in November 2020.
The Israeli Mossad also carried out explosive operations, mysterious fires, or attempts to penetrate electronic that affected Iranian websites or targeted Iranian elements in Syria, but Tel Aviv usually does not adopt these attacks.
The Iranian authorities always announce the dismantling of spy networks working for the Israeli Mossad, while observers believe that these charges are mainly linked to the escalating protests in an attempt to distort them.
In turn, Iran was involved in targeting some Israeli nationals in Turkey, as well as carrying out attacks on Israeli ships and ships in a number of seas and sea ports, or to throw oil waste near the Israeli coast.
The Revolutionary Guards also launched a ballistic missile attack targeting the house of an Iraqi businessman in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region of Iraq, under the pretext that it was the seat of the Israeli Mossad and meetings with Israelis, which was denied by the region’s authorities.
Observers believe that Israel is still superior in the intelligence war, which prompted the Iranian Revolutionary Guard last June to replace former intelligence chief Hussein Fiber, a military brigade, Muhammad Kazemi..
