Iran executed a convicted Mossad spy, trained in Nepal, who funneled sensitive information from Iranian military and cyber institutions to Israel.
Ehsan Afrashteh first established contact with Mossad agents in Turkey. After assessing Afrashteh's family connections to sensitive state institutions, Mossad instructed him to return to Iran and attempt to gain employment in a sensitive organization.
Although he ultimately failed to infiltrate that specific body, Mossad paid him 1,000 euros before his return to build trust.
Initially, Afrashteh operated under the cover of an uber (snap) driver, carrying out Mossad's orders, he was also fluent in Hebrew.
Following Mossad's training, he documented targeted locations, filmed the vicinity of the Ministry of Intelligence, attended public gatherings, and provided personality profiles of individuals to his handler (PressTV).
