Part 10/12:
By the early 2000s, the emergence of Iran as a nuclear power forced Mossad to recalibrate its strategies. Under the leadership of Meir Dagan, the agency adopted more aggressive tactics aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear program. An iconic example of this shift was the deployment of the Stuxnet worm, which successfully sabotaged Iranian uranium enrichment activities.
The ongoing conflict came to a head in 2015 with the Iran nuclear deal, and subsequent revelations of Iran's alleged deceit once again thrust Mossad into the spotlight, demonstrating its critical role in international diplomatic skirmishes.
