No Israeli prime minister has made such abundant, flagrant and public use of intelligence coups scored by Mossad and Military Intelligence as Benjamin Netanyahu has. He followed his viral Iranian nuclear files performance of April 30, using a simulated backdrop of file cabinets to reveal Mossad’s success in removing an Iranian nuclear archive from Tehran to Tel Aviv, with an appearance before the UN General Assembly on Sept. 27. As expected, it was another chapter in Netanyahu’s harsh indictment of the Islamic Republic.
Netanyahu proved, once again, that he is an oratorical genius and an audiovisual wizard when he held up photographs and maps of what he described as a secret Iranian nuclear facility in Tehran and three long-range missile bases that Iran maintains, courtesy of Hezbollah, adjacent to Beirut’s international airport.
