Former Mossad chief David Dadi Barnea has confirmed that Israeli agents continue to operate within Iran, despite many of them remaining undiscovered. He discussed this during the Priority Summit conference, focusing on Operation Rising Lion conducted in 2025. This campaign targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities. Barnea recounted Mossad releasing a video inside Iran to mislead security forces and complicate the identification of genuine Israeli operatives.
He personally vetted every agent sent on this mission to guarantee their discretion and reliability. Barnea explained that dozens of operatives infiltrated Iran weeks prior to the operation; however, Israeli pilots were unaware of the upcoming attack when they were assigned to their units. Regarding those apprehended or executed in Iran on espionage charges, Barnea stated that some were not connected to Mossad.
Those involved in the operation remain in Tehran, continuing to live as if they fulfilled a significant purpose, according to Barnea, as quoted by Ynet News.
