Iran Recruits Businessman to Assassinate Netanyahu and Israeli Security Officials, - Media.


An interesting material came to us: an attempted assassination occurred in Israel against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Director of the Shin Bet (Shabak) Ronen Bar, reports The Jerusalem Post.
Regarding the planning of the assassination of high-ranking officials, all suspicions fall on Iran. According to the publication, the plan involved using an Israeli businessman who lived in Turkey and had financial ties with Turkish and Iranian individuals. Due to these relationships, a plan was developed for the assassination in Israel. In April of this year, Andrey Faruk Aslan and Guneyd Aslan, Turkish citizens, met with the Israeli businessman in the city of Samandag, at the invitation of representatives of an Iranian named Edi. It turned out that Edi could not leave Iran, so the businessman agreed to secretly transport him from Turkey to Iran. The plan discussion took place in May.
According to the article, the Israeli businessman asked for one million dollars before starting the implementation of the plan. Later, in August, he visited Iran again and received 5000 euros from the Iranians to start the implementation of financial and logistical actions as well as those related to weapons. He was also obliged to record videos of Israeli objects and convey threats to Israeli citizens who did not follow Iran's instructions. They even tried to involve Russians and Americans in tasks against Iranian figures living in Europe and the USA.
Recently, the businessman was detained and already accused of conspiracy.
In the end, it is worth noting that Israel has expanded its military actions in Gaza.
