Today, news has resurfaced about the agents planted by Israel in regional countries and the prominent roles they play. The pursuit and assassination of leaders of "Hezbollah," along with other assassinations in Syria and Iran, serves as undeniable proof of the successes Israel is achieving through these operatives. The Mossad utilizes money to recruit agents, carefully selecting individuals in sensitive positions to benefit from them in achieving their objectives.
**Mossad in Iran**
The successful assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, carried out by the Israeli Mossad—regardless of the method used (whether a bomb or a missile)—indicates that the Mossad's reach is very extensive even within Iran's Revolutionary Guard. This implies that many secrets, from military manufacturing to missile depots and even the nuclear project, are now in the hands of the Mossad and can be exploited to incapacitate Iran and prevent it from threatening Israel.
**Catherine Beers**
This brings to mind the case of Israeli spy Catherine Beers Shakdam, who entered Iran with a French passport and revealed her connections with Iranian officials during her work in Iranian state media, including the Guard's news agency "Tasnim" and the website of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. According to "Times of Israel," Shakdam claimed to have ensnared 100 Iranian officials by luring them into sexual relationships after agreeing to temporary marriages. She noted that religious leaders, whom she referred to as "mullahs," were her key sources of information, most of whom hold significant governmental positions in Iran.
She indicated that her desire to learn more about religious law facilitated her connections with governmental clerics, adding that she would arrange meetings to propose temporary marriages at the same time. Regarding how she obtained information from them, she mentioned that things became easy after proposing marriage and gaining their trust, after which they would share more information privately.
The spy spoke about her relationship with a member of the Iranian parliament, who, unprompted, explained to her all the discussions of the closed and classified parliamentary sessions, as well as country secrets during intimate meetings. The Tasnim agency acknowledged that a limited number of interviews with Shakdam were published on its site, denying any role in her entry into Iran, stating that it is the responsibility of security agencies. The agency added that Shakdam, as she wrote in her blog, entered Iran with a French passport and that she was married to a Muslim Yemeni, which drew suspicion away from her.
**Meeting with Khamenei and Raisi**
Catherine Shakdam met with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on her first visit to Iran, and on her second trip, she accompanied Ibrahim Raisi during his campaign in the 2017 elections and conducted an interview with him. After Shakdam published an article in "Times of Israel" detailing her experiences in Iran, Khamenei's website and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's newspapers removed her articles and interviews.
"Times of Israel" had previously published an article by Shakdam, who had "declared her conversion to Shia Islam," revealing her status as an agent of the Israeli intelligence agency "Mossad" and her infiltration into official sites belonging to Khamenei and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Shakdam claimed in that article that she "carried out all these actions and activities to infiltrate Iran after managing to gain the trust of Iranian authorities." She further stated that "Iran is seeking a nuclear bomb," noting that she has no secret information about Iran’s nuclear program.
The question now arises: after all the assassinations and the bombing of sensitive centers in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq, how many Catherine Beers are among us today?
