MOSSAD did the UNBELIEVABLE in Iran (here’s how) | Straight Up

Reality IS truly crazier than fiction when it comes to Israel’s operations in Iran and around the world.

What is Israel’s Mossad really doing inside Iran—and how much of it has been 30 years in the making? In this episode of “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman, former Israeli government official Danny Seaman is joined by Avner Avraham, a 28-year Mossad veteran, intelligence historian and advisor to the film Operation Finale. Together, they pull back the curtain on some of the most daring and creative operations ever carried out by Israel’s elite intelligence agency.

Avraham shares remarkable behind-the-scenes stories from decades of Mossad activity, including the legendary capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, the 1976 Entebbe rescue and the covert smuggling of Ethiopian Jews from Sudan. But the heart of this episode focuses on what’s unfolding now: recent Israeli operations targeting Iran’s military leadership and nuclear infrastructure. From drone strikes on missile facilities to Mossad-trained agents embedded as cooks and housekeepers inside Tehran’s elite circles, the scale and sophistication of these missions are staggering.

Learn how Mossad agents use real professions—doctors, artists, pilots—to operate under authentic covers and how Israel has spent decades mapping out Iran’s internal vulnerabilities. Avraham reveals how intelligence is gathered over years, how false media leaks serve strategic purposes and how local Iranian dissidents are quietly aiding Israel’s efforts. Viewers will hear how Mossad weaponizes small details—license plate numbers, prayer times, pen ink—to gain the upper hand in hostile territory.

Anyone seeking to understand how Israeli intelligence operates on the world stage should not miss this episode!
