Israel's Intelligence Operations Against Iran

A crucial aspect of maintaining an "upper hand" is the ability to identify and exploit an adversary's weaknesses. Iranian intelligence, while formidable in certain areas, has reportedly suffered from internal rivalries, corruption, and a reliance on more traditional, often less sophisticated, methods compared to Israel's advanced technological toolkit. Israel has likely capitalized on these vulnerabilities, using them as entry points for intelligence gathering or as leverage to sow discord and suspicion within the Iranian security apparatus, further weakening its coherence and effectiveness.
