There has been a spate of mysterious fires and explosions across Iran in recent weeks. Naturally the Iranians suspect, with reason, that agents of Israel are responsible. But Iran doesn’t dare to accuse Israel publicly, because that would then require that Iran respond with an attack on the Jewish state, and then Israel would answer back with a far more devastating attack. In fact, Israel may well be engaging in sabotage in order to prevent Iran from renewing its aggressive campaign against Israel, thus giving Israel all the excuse it needs to renew its bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic, further damaging those nuclear sites that Jerusalem now believes were not completely destroyed during the June attacks by both the IDF and the Americans.
More on these mysterious explosions across Iran can be found here: “Iranian officials claim Israel behind series of mysterious fires, explosions – report,” Jerusalem Post, July 23, 2025:
Iranian officials quietly claim that many of the recent mysterious explosions and fires that have broken out in the last two weeks were acts of sabotage by Israel, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian government officials believe these acts of sabotage come directly from Israel, but, according to the report, are not permitted to discuss it publicly. In public, officials have claimed the events are coincidences or attributed them to old infrastructure.
NYT cited three Iranian officials, including a member of the IRGC, who said they believe that many of the fires were “acts of sabotage.” However, the officials did not provide evidence to back up suspicions, and NYT noted that officials who spoke publicly blamed gas leaks, garbage fires, and old infrastructure for the explosions.
Iranian authorities are hesitant to openly accuse Israel of involvement, fearing it could force them into a position where they would have to retaliate, according to the report….
A Persian-language X/Twitter account that styles itself as Israel’s Mossad, but has never been publicly acknowledged by the agency, addressed the explosions in a post.
“Explosion after explosion. Someone needs to check what’s going on there. Too many random incidents are happening.”
And then another taunt follows: “Perhaps Iran should ask their allies Houthis to stop their terror acts on the global maritime commerce. Just a thought.”
The daily reports of explosions and fires throughout Iran are intended to keep the regime alarmed and off balance. It has been unable to stop the sabotage, unable to find the saboteurs, though it has rounded up hundreds of people who it accuses of being “Zionist agents.” Despite those dragnets of suspects, the sabotage continues unabated. Clearly, these agents of Israel, some of whom are Israelis and others Iranians, are now operating with total impunity throughout the country. Finally, the regime must hold back from publicly accusing Israel of being responsible for the sabotage, because if it did, the Iranian public would then expect the braggart warriors in Tehran, who keep claiming they are ready to again make war on Israel, to strike the hated Zionist enemy. And this is something the Iranian rulers dare not do, for fear of the IDF’s response.
So for now, they must continue to silently endure the sabotage, implausibly ascribing all those fires and explosions across Iran to “gas leaks, garbage fires, and old infrastructure.” Or they may decide to lay the blame for those attacks on “internal dissidents, unconnected to the Zionist entity.”
Good coverage and analysis.
It may very well be that Israel is behind these attacks. It may also be true that the Iranian people are
doing this..as they have tried before. Maybe even working together?
They have been for 9 months. Mossad, with boots on the ground, located the SAM sites and other hidden installations 8 months before the labs were taken out
The most authoritative book on secret missions,specially by MOSSAD, by Israel is ”Rise up and kill first”(2018) by
RON BERGMAN, Israeli journalist,who spent 6 years doing research, read 1,000 documents and interviewed thousands.
His most interesting discoveries were regarding:
1. The end of ELI COHEN: considered the greatest spy of Mossad and Israel,a national hero,called the man who changed the history of the Middle East.
2. OTTO SKORZENY, a sincere Nazi, friend of Hitler and called by Allied intelligence ”the most dangerous man in Europe”.
3. The history of the terrorist group ”Front National pour la Liberation du Liban des Etrangers” in Lebanon ( National front for the liberation of Lebanon from foreigners) and Mossad.
In reference to the book on the history of Mossad one has to mention these two:
TAMIR PARDO:
He is a former HEAD of MOSSAD ( 2011-2016) and has said that there is a state of apartheid in the West Bank regarding the 3 million Palestinians.
EHUD BARAK:
He is a former Prime Minister of Israel (1999-2001 ) , then was Minister of Defense.
1.Participated in the rescue of passengers in a plane that had been hijacked.
Palestinians began hijacking airplanes in 1968,it was a spectacular development,and Barak was the HEAD of a group of Israeli soldiers that in 1972 rescued passengers in Lod,Israel.The 4 terrorists were killed.
2. Participated in the Mossad operation ”Wrath of God”,to kill the 11 men responsible for the death of Israeli athletes. Killed by a PLO faction called BLACK SEPTEMBER during the Munich Olympics of 1972.
Barak was with a group that went to Beirut and killed 3 top PLO leaders in a single night.He is famous for having dressed as a woman as camouflage.
3. He was one of the planners of the operation that rescued 100 Jewish and French hostages in ENTEBBE,Uganda,in 1976.It was called Operation Thunderbolt.
Why did I mention Tamir Pardo and Ehud Barak?
Because they wrote a BLURB found at the BACK of the book by Ron Bergman ”Rie up and kill first” (2018).
What is a BLURB?
It is a brief, compelling book description designed to arouse the curiosity of potential readers. The blurb is printed on the BACK cover of the BOOK.
The approval is total,no ifs,buts or maybes by Tamir Pardo and Ehud Barak.
Blurb by Pardo:
”Rise and Kill First is the MOST IMPRESSIVE book I have seen on the Subject and the FIRST one written using REAL research rather than a fictional narrative.
At the center is the inevitable clash between the right of a democracy to defend itself,the measures we have been obliged to take in order to protect citizens of the State of Israel,and other values and rights. Bergman’s ability to reach sources inside Western intelligence communities is amazing,and I must say,also a little disturbing. With so many different participants in the events recounted here,there is ALWAYS
the DANGER of having
a RASHOMON EFFECT,
each individual having his own distinct point of view,but Bergman has done some impressive reporting and CROSS-CHECKING to recreate these secret historical events in the BEST POSSIBLE way.”
By Barak:
”A real-life thriller….In a confident and eloquent voice,Ronen Bergman gives the reader a glance THROUGH veils of SECRECY into the world of international clandestine operations,where Israel has to fight for its survival,making tough choices and following through on them with decisive and sometimes deadly action.”
What is the Rashomon effect?
The Rashomon effect is the phenomenon of the UNRELIABILITY of EYEWITNESSES.
Named after Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 Japanese film ”Rashomon”, in which a murder is described in
four CONTRADICTORY ways
by four WITNESSES.
So is there anything shocking in the book about Mossad? In the documentaries about ELI COHEN,the spy in Syria,national hero,a man with a PHOTOGRAPHIC memory,
they always say he was tortured and NEVER gave away information.
One example is the 10 min video on Eli Cohen by the Israeli youtube channel
”Unpacked”,here it is:
In one of them the DAUGHTER of Eli Cohen was interviewed and to my astonishment she said that she and her mother never received ANY financial assistance from the Israeli government,no help,for the widow and daughter of Israel’s greatest spy, Were they rich?
No,after Cohen’s death they lived a life of great privation and poverty.
THAT information is NOT in Bergman’s book but what he says explains why.
Remember,Pardo and Barak have read the book,no doubt verified the claims,they have access to the truth,have contacts in the intelligence system.
Bergman says not as a rumor or conspiracy theory but as a fact that Eli Cohen under TORTURE broke and gave away what?
The SECRET communication codes of Israel.
Plus there were 200 secret messages the Syrians found and Cohen DECODED them as proof he was really giving away Israel’s secret communications code.
The book also talks about a secret operation by Mossad,during the Lebanese Civil War, similar to OPERATION GLADIO,done by the CIA.
Operation Gladio was a secret plan where the CIA paid groups to carry out TERRORIST attacks that killed and wounded
HUNDREDS of what?
Of soldiers? No,of CIVILIANS.
In EUROPE after WW II and they claimed to be COMMUNIST groups.It is what is called a FALSE FLAG operation.
Acts committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and blaming on another party.
Here is a video on Operation Gladio,by ”The Why Files”,very popular youtuber
In the case of Mossad and Otto Skorzeny the book by Ronen Bergman does not use words like you often hear in documentaries like ”it is claimed”, ”there is the suspicion”, ”it is likely,it is probable”.
It recounts it like a clinical report,as fact.
SKORZENY was an Austrian nazi who was a personal friend of Hitler and a nazi James Bond in charge of several operations for Hitler:
1. Plan to kill TITO,head of antinazi partisans in Yugoslavia: failed
2. Plan to kill EISENHOWER during WW II: failed
3. Operation Long Jump:
there was a 1943 in TEHERAN of Churchill,Roosevelt and Staline. It was to kill all three at once.
The plot was discovered and foiled by Soviet spy of Armenian descent GEVORK VARTANIAN. Later on,the granddaughter of Churchill met Vartanian and thanked him for saving Churchill’s life.
4.Operations GREIF: where German soldiers who spoke English dressed as American soldiers and created chaos and confusion in the Ardennes region in 1944.
5. In 1943 Skorzeny was charged with rescuing MUSSOLINI who was a prisoner.He succeeded.
Skorzeny was convinced by Mossad to become an agent for them in exchange for protection.
NASSER,the president of Egypt,was secretly creating ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel and had contracted a group of German scientists, former Nazis. Mossad tried to kill them but was failing.Skorzeny went to Egypt,contacted them,saying he had a project for a Fourth Reich and needed their help,got all the information about them,names,addresses,etc. Mossad was able to scare the German scientists to leave Nasser and Egypt.
The Lebanese Civil lasted from 1975 to 1990 and 150,000 to 250,000 were killed.
1. In 1982 the PLO under Yasser ARAFAT had its headquarters in Beirut and was fighting on the Muslim side against the Christian paramilitary group led by BASHIR GEMAYEL,a charismatic but also brutal man.We know for a fact he massacred Muslim CIVILIANS.
2. 1982 there was a CEASE FIRE between the PLO and Israel which was respected by the PLO,it ceased to attack Israel. However Israel wanted the PLO to attack it to use it as an EXCUSE to INVADE Lebanon. This is affirmed in the Bergman book as fact.
3. MENAHEM BEGIN in 1982 was Prime Minister of Israel (1977-1983),an ex-terrorist. In 1979 he and Sadat,president of Egypt,signed a peace treaty and they both got the Nobel Peace prize.Begin was responsible for killing 91 people in the King David Hotel bombing in 1946.
That massacre was denounced by Ben Gurion and all world Jewish intellectuals as evil.Begin at the time was the HEAD of IRGUN,a paramilitary group.
4. Who was DEFENSE Minister of Israel then?
It was ARIEL SHARON (1981-1983) later PM (2001-2006). In 1953 two Israelis were killed by Palestinians and Sharon was the COMMANDER of UNIT 101,which attacked a Jordanian village called QIBYA in revenge and killed 70 civilians in COLD BLOOD. Later in 2005,as PM,Sharon took out the Israeli army from GAZA.
5. Bergman states as fact that Mossad created a FALSE FLAG operation,creating a terrorist group in Lebanon in 1982 called ”Front National pour la Liberation du Liban des Etrangers”( National front for the liberation of Lebanon from foreigners) ,meaning it being against,among others,who?
Against the PLO,which is Palestinian,not Lebanese.
It carried out some dozen CAR BOMB attacks that killed some 100 CIVILIANS,all Muslim,always in the Muslim part of Beirut,and several times in front of PLO offices in Beirut,but killing civilians nearby. Each attack was claimed by that group. When Israel invaded Lebanon with 76,000 soldiers in 1982, all of a SUDDEN, the group STOPPED its activities.
And to put your post as a lie there was no Mossad before 1949. How does Hitler fit in?
More total nonsense from the far right anti Semites.
considering they believe the koran they will believe anything . mohammed was an ignoramus follows suit that his followers would be tarred with the same brush .
I would definitely put my money on Mossad doing the sabotage.
The Quran says “In order for the messiah to come, the 12th Mahdi, all other religions in the world must convert to Islam or die. The world must fall under Sharia Law”. So Israel is Jewish and hated by Islam. In fact there was no animosity between Isreal and the Arabs until Islam came along 1445 years ago
Obviously this is more evidence of climate change.
(Heh)
brrrump bump – a good one – especially for a Friday
Iran has a Firebug problem real bad
Mossad was already in Iran 8 months before the labs were taken out. They took out the Sam sites pinpointing them with lasers so the F16s could hit them. They were supported by Iranian freedom fighters. They found the 20 military leaders and were responsible for Israel’s air force taking them out.
One only lends to the rich, I know, but could these explosions be triggered by the Iranian opposition to the mollah’s regime rather than Israel?
If what you say is true and the Iranian opposition gets the upper hand, the Mollah might get an invitation to do the Momar Kadafi broom stick dance. One can always hope.
In conjunction with Mossad who have been in Iran for over 9 months. Iran’s freedom fighters have been helping Mossad for almost a year.
Surely, Israel calculates every move related to operations in Iran. Whether they are doing this or not, they might well be influencing Iranians who want to be liberated from the Shite governance of their country.
This surely undermines Khomeini, as he is already hamstrung by Israel and the US bombings of their nuclear development sites.
But, this is also deftly showing the world the contagion of fear gripping the country’s leadership and their obvious hesitancy in casting blame upon the Jewish nation.
When leaders have lost the power of authority by hiding from public view, their influence is undergoing a slow, steady disintegration. These niggling explosions are evidencing the now limited internal intelligence apparatus and how staying silent is the only move they can make without furthering their humiliation.
This is the slow, meticulous boil of the frog stuck in a self-designed pot of arrogant, totalitarian viciousness.as the world both watches and notates as the temperature rises.
Iran has problems – all their machinations and terror bloodshed is coming back like a tsunami of karma – the worst of it for them is the hell that waits for them when their eternal soul departs their body naturally or taken out by MOSSAD or some Iranian fed up with the oppression, lies and hypocrisy.
They will join their once lunatic compatriots already dispatched from their human body to the holding cell hell awaiting YHVH’S JUDGEMENT where their eternal souls are snuffed along with the devil and the fallen angels who rebelled with him and will terrorize YHVH’S Creation no more!
Iran is falling and President Trump knows this. Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu knows this. Iran is the head of the serpent and it’s proxy malitias hamass, hellbullshita and hooties will have no direction and as splinter groups, their junta heads will be targeted and eliminated.
This is the last round up. There can be no peace with these people alive and no peace treaty will they honor just use to stealthily rebuild unless Israel and USA keep a sharp watch. The UN has proven it’s antisemitism and anti-Israel. They too are of the devil but they just saber rattle and that’s fine, as long as they do not participate in anyway to shed Israeli blood and Jewish blood globally and futz with Israel and USA. Western Europe is gone for izzylum – in the UK apparently, you can’t even speak out against myzlym any more than have a Bible study in a park or tea house.
Maybe we should start massive air drops of weapons to the Iranian People.
We need to seriously turn our national attention to the growing numbers and influence of Islam in the US. I don’t understand why Trump doesn’t publicly describe Islam as a security risk and RICO, banning it and demolishing their mosques as terrorist recruitment and training centers.
I’m posting truth here and all are awaiting moderation. What gives?
