TARGET: IRAN: How the Mossad Penetrated Iran to Smash the Nuclear Threat
IRAN is the true story of the most unique and uniquely successful espionage mission in Middle East history. The Mossad, Israel's famed agency for international espionage and special missions, has accomplished much that is unusual and innovative -- but nothing like its penetration of the Islamic Republic of Iran. For years, Mossad operatives have been active inside that enemy country.
The Mossad's years of covert work, directed primarily at sabotaging and delaying Iran's nuclear program, culminated in the events exclusively described in this book -- a "mini-book" by Yossi Melman and Dan Raviv -- on June 13, 2025. Mossad agents took action, knocking out key parts of Iran's air defense system and destroying some of Iran's offensive missiles. And (spoiler alert), you will learn that those agents were not Israelis. They were a veritable foreign legion, recruited expertly by Israel's Mossad.
Yossi Melman, a newspaper reporter and analyst for decades and also a documentary filmmaker, has teamed up with Dan Raviv -- former CBS News correspondent and host of The Mossad Files podcast -- on six books so far. And more to come.
Their history of Israel's intelligence agencies, Every Spy a Prince, was a national best seller. Their other books include Spies Against Inside Israel's Secret Wars.
