In a rare confession that Mossad agents were behind the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists, the report written by Dan Raviv and published by the CBS News said that Washington officials have communicated to Israeli intelligence agencies to stop the targeting of scientists, saying it may derail nuclear talks between Tehran and world powers.
In his report Dan Raviv, a journalist who co-wrote a book about Israel's Mossad secret operations, also said that apart from Washington's pressure, Israel's intelligence agencies have also concluded that the operations had become too dangerous for them as they do not want their experienced forces to be "captured and hanged."In their 2012 book, entitled Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel's Secret Wars, Raviv and Israeli journalist Yossi Melman said that Israeli spies have killed at least four Iranian nuclear scientists.
