Mossad agents infiltrated freight transport network, Iranian official says

A senior Iranian trucking official said Mossad agents infiltrated the country’s freight transport network over the past three years by posing as drivers and renting trucks from unsuspecting owners.

“Some Mossad spies joined the freight fleet with forged identities and took advantage of the drivers’ lack of awareness,” said Jalal Mousavi, deputy head of Iran’s National Truckers Association, according to state media.

“Our drivers are loyal. Their cooperation was not intentional.”

He added that the agents gained access by renting trucks or taking jobs as drivers, saying that “traitors” had trained for the operation long in advance.

“This was not something that happened overnight—it’s been ongoing for at least three years,” he said.
