Iranian security agencies claim to have obtained intelligence indicating that Israel’s Mossad has designed a scenario involving attacks on aircraft or airports in the region, intended to create a humanitarian crisis and falsely attribute responsibility to Iran, according to reports from Iranian state media [1][2].
The alleged operation, described in Iranian security briefings as a “false flag” plot, would reportedly involve staging an aviation incident and using it as justification for international pressure or military action against Tehran. According to the Iranian account, the scenario was proposed to Israel’s government as a means of building international consensus against Iran [2][3][4].
Iranian officials framed the alleged plot as part of a broader pattern of strategic narrative manipulation. The claims emerged amid ongoing regional tensions and follow a series of aviation-related incidents in the Middle East that have drawn security agency attention from multiple nations [1].
Israeli intelligence agencies, including Mossad and the Shin Bet, have been conducting investigations into separate aviation incidents in recent days. Israeli military radio reported that Mossad, in collaboration with the Shin Bet, is investigating attempts to attack aircraft en route to Tel Aviv, with one incident involving a Dubai-based flight [1]. Israeli Channel 14 reported that the Israeli Air Force is examining circumstances surrounding a pilot-related incident, with investigators determining that actions were taken on personal initiative rather than following orders from any state or terrorist organization [1].
Israeli security agencies, including the Shin Bet, Mossad, the military, and the Ministry of Transport, launched a joint investigation following an incident involving aircraft crew members, with inquiries extending to authorities in Dubai regarding preliminary indicators [1].
The Iranian allegations reflect deepening mutual suspicion between Tehran and Tel Aviv over aviation security and the attribution of potential incidents. Iranian officials stated that preventing such scenarios has become a central focus of Iranian security planning, aimed at countering what they characterize as false accusations designed to trigger new waves of international pressure [2].
The claims have circulated primarily through Iranian state and semi-official news channels, including the state news agency Fars, with limited independent verification of the underlying intelligence assessments [2][3][4]. The allegations emerge in a context of heightened regional military activity and ongoing disputes over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence.
