Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu has revealed that Israeli agents are currently active in Iran.
In an interview with Israelโs army radio, Eliyahu discussed Israeli operations in Iran over the past year and claimed that activities are ongoing, according to Israel Hayom newspaper.
He said, โWhen we struck Iran last year, we were on their territory and knew how to prepare the ground for the attack. I can assure you that our people are working there right now.โ
Referring to Iranโs internal situation and possible Israeli involvement, he added โAre they now acting directly to topple the regime? No. Are they acting to ensure that Iran cannot threaten us from all other aspects? Yes.โ
Earlier this week, Eliyahu called for action against โterrorist elements in the Bedouin diaspora,โ saying the issue โis no less serious than jihadist terrorism.โ He also urged that โthe same measures used against Hamas and Islamic Jihad terroristsโ be applied against those causing unrest.
