Israel Killed 9 Top Iranian Nuclear Scientists Simultaneously. The Details Are Wild.

Last week, as part of Operation Narnia, Israel simultaneously killed nine of the despotic Iranian regime’s top ten nuclear scientists, prompting questions as to how such an action was accomplished.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, all nine were killed while sleeping in a simultaneous action so there would be no time for anyone to tip off any of the scientists; a tenth scientist was killed shortly afterward. The actions were carried out using a special weapon, but Israel has not revealed exactly what kind of weapon was used.

In the past, when Iranian nuclear scientists were targeted, the killings occurred when they were on the way to their cars after work; thus, one Israeli official speculated that the scientists felt safe in their homes, the Times of Israel reported.

Israel decided last November to hunt down the ten scientists, Channel 12 reported.

“Israeli intelligence officials felt that the killing of the nuclear scientists was the most important part of Operation Narnia because the military leadership and equipment killed would be more easily replaceable, while the knowledge held by the nuclear scientists would take much longer to ascertain, the network said, citing an unnamed senior Israeli official,” the Times of Israel stated.

“Throughout the operation, Israeli intelligence officials categorized Iran’s nuclear scientists into four levels for elimination, ranking them from highest to lowest priority,” The Jerusalem Post reported. “The scientists with the most military expertise and the greatest difficulty in replacing them were ranked highest. Israel then compiled a hit list, ready for execution at command, with the most dangerous scientists at the top.”

On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) wrote to Iranians on the IDF Farsi account on X:

Dear citizens of Iran, We understand your difficult situation in light of the difficult circumstances the regime has created for you. In recent days, we have received many messages from loved ones who are worried about the current uncertain future. Even those who identify themselves as members of the regime’s security institutions express their fear, despair, and anger at what is happening in Iran and ask us to contact Israeli authorities – so that Iran does not suffer the same fate as Lebanon and Gaza. It is important to clarify here that we are not the appropriate authority for such requests.

The IDF then provided a link to the Mossad.

شهروندان عزیز ایران,

According to The Jerusalem Post, the Mossad responded, “Iran claims to have attacked a Mossad building with missile strikes. Fortunately, no one was there… everyone is in Iran.”
