Did Heads of Mossad and Shin Bet Leak Plans and Thwart Israeli Attack on Iran?

Israel’s prime minister has ordered an investigation into alleged leaks of plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, it has been reported.

According to the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida, the main suspects are the former heads of the Mossad and the Shin Bet, respectively Israel’s foreign and domestic intelligence agencies.

Netanyahu is said to believe that the two, Meir Dagan and Yuval Diskin, wanted to torpedo plans being drawn up by him and Ehud Barak, the defence minister, to hit Iranian nuclear sites.

Hayden’s Note:

This is interesting, for a number of reasons. I’ve been hearing whispers and rumors in various circles regarding a… shift; a shift in the strategic military and intelligence players’ way of thinking.  I’ve heard hints of two different factions within the intelligence world and it’s not what you’d think.  There are many senior and former senior members that seem to be doing everything they can to thwart a coming global war and to slow the massive machinery of the power grabbers.  From stories about the underground bases and military tunnels in Denver and Virginia being bombed, to rumors of this Israeli intelligence defiance (of all people!) … something is peculier. Is this simply a ruse from the always-obfuscating Mossad?  Or did heads of Israel’s intelligence truly leak this information? 

When dealing with the intelligence community, you can not look at what is in front of you and try to understand it because it is likely false or misleading.  Instead, youmust look ahead severla moves, just like a chess game, in order to understand what is happening.  Does this move put them into a power position further down the road?  Does it offer them deniability of something later?  Intel players will sacrifice a small part of themselves – pawns or even the bigger rooks, bishops, and knights – in order to corner the opposing king.

The paper suggested that the purpose of the leaks was to prevent an attack, which had moved from the stage of discussion to implementation. “Those who oppose the plan within the security establishment decided to leak it to the media and thwart the plan,” it said.

Both Dagan and Diskin oppose military action against Iran unless all other options – primarily international diplomatic pressure and perhaps sabotage — have been exhausted. In January the recently retired Dagan, a hawk when he was running the Mossad, called an attack on Iran “the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard”.

Tzipi Livni, leader of the opposition Kadima party, is also said to have been persuaded to attack Netanyahu for “adventurism” and “gambling with Israel’s national interest”.
