Preparations by Israel's Mossad for potential conflict with Iran are believed to have been ongoing for at least two years, reveals historian Yvonnick Denoël.
Get the lowdown on Israel's secret war against Iran
It's no secret that tensions between Israel and Iran have been escalating for years, and recent estimates suggest that the Mossad, Israel's elite intelligence agency, has been gearing up for a potential conflict for at least two years now. According to historian Yvonnick Denoël, who spoke on our site, this preparation involves hundreds of personnel and a wide range of covert operations.
So what exactly is going on? Well, let's dive in.
: The possibility of Iran building a nuclear weapon is a real concern, according to a nuclear expert. And if that's the case, the Mossad is taking multiple steps to thwart their efforts. According to Denoël, this includes infiltrating Iran with drones, gaining access to valuable intelligence, and striking crucial targets, such as military leaders and the Revolutionary Guards' commanders.
But the Mossad doesn't do it alone. To achieve their goals, they reportedly recruit a diverse group of individuals, from oppressed ethnic minorities to corrupt political figures and ambitious young people.
Aman: the unsung hero of Israel's war against Iran
While the Mossad is known for covert operations and intelligence gathering, Aman, Israel's military intelligence directorate, appears to be playing a crucial role in the preparations for a potential conflict with Iran. According to Yvonnick Denoël, Aman's crowning achievement was locating a bunker where Iranian military leaders would gather in case of an attack. This bunker was destroyed, leading to significant disorganization within the Iranian army.
According to Iranian sources, Aman is also a key target in their retaliation against Israel. Strikes targeting Aman headquarters are reported to be part of their efforts to disrupt Israel's military intelligence complex, which is believed to be involved in planning assassination operations against Iranian targets.
In other words, Aman acts as the military intelligence backbone that supports the Mossad's covert activities in Iran. While the Mossad handles the recruitment of operatives, Aman provides critical logistical and intelligence planning support for their tactical operations. They work hand-in-hand to coordinate covert operations against Iranian targets.
So there you have it. As tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate, the Mossad and Aman are allegedly working tirelessly behind the scenes to prepare for a potential conflict. Will it lead to a full-blown war? Only time will tell.

France has been closely following the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, with the French government expressing concern about the potential misuse of nuclear technology by Iran. Moreover, French politics and general news outlets have been reporting on the Mossad and Aman's covert operations and strategic planning in the context of the looming war-and-conflicts between Israel and Iran. For instance, they have reported on the Mossad's recruitment tactics and infiltration activities, as well as Aman's crucial role in providing logistical and intelligence support for those operations. These reports underscore the widespread global interest in this ongoing situation.
