Will Israel confirm that it's engaged in anti-nuclear-weapon covert operations inside Iran?
Settled as No
There have been no reports of this happening.
Background:
Background: Israel is involved in a covert war of sabotage inside Iran to try to delay Tehran's alleged attempts to develop a nuclear weapon, a British newspaper said on Tuesday, quoting a former CIA agent and intelligence experts.
An intelligence source in the Middle East told Reuters last year Israel planned to target Iranian nuclear scientists with letter bombs and poisoned packages and had set off explosions in Iran. Analysts offered similar accounts and said such tactics would be credible, but no confirmation has been available.
Some analysts caution that reports of such a "dirty war" may form part of a psychological warfare campaign to unsettle Iran.
The intelligence source told Reuters that Israeli agents were working with Western governments and firms doing business with Tehran, whose Islamist leadership is a sworn enemy of Israel but denies accusations its nuclear program has a military purpose.
The government of Israel--widely assumed to be the only nuclear power in the Middle East--has so far declined all comment on such reports. This question asks whether any official Israeli government spokesperson will confirm the anti-nuclear-weapon ops inside Iran within the next full year.
