The objective of their joint operation was to impede the
delivery of unconventional weapons to Iran, according to reports, Arab48,
reported.
The Italian press report, published on Friday, highlighted
the joint operation conducted by the Mossad and Italian intelligence. The
operation targeted the proliferation of non-conventional weapons and their
potential transfer to a “hostile Middle Eastern country”, referring
specifically to Iran.
This recent operation follows a similar effort by the
intelligence agencies of both nations a few years ago in Switzerland. The
previous mission aimed to prevent an "enemy country" from acquiring
pharmaceutical equipment.
Additionally, unnamed Iranian sources quoted by the Italian
newspaper La Repubblica confirmed that the intelligence operation sought to
obstruct the arrival of weapons of mass destruction to Iran.
Furthermore, the operation aimed to prevent the acquisition
of "dual-use" items that could serve both civilian and military
purposes.
In a separate report, the Corriere della Sera newspaper
revealed that a meeting between Italian intelligence agents and the Mossad took
place on a boat that capsized in Lake Maggiore, located in northern Italy, last
Sunday.
The purpose of this meeting was to coordinate surveillance
efforts regarding a Russian oligarch involved in the transfer of Iranian drones
to Moscow.
The article also mentioned that the area where the boat
accident occurred, resulting in the deaths of four individuals, including a
former Mossad member, serves as a hub for Russian oligarch activity. The
victims of the accident included two Italian intelligence agents and a Russian
woman, who was the wife of the boat captain.
It is speculated that the intelligence agents may have
utilized her services in their operation.
