In June 2025, Israel coordinated an intelligence and military campaign deep inside Iranian territory, combining covert drone sabotage by Mossad with large-scale Israeli Air Force (IAF) airstrikes on Iran’s surface-to-surface missile (SSM) infrastructure. The clandestine operation of Mossad enabled the start of the June 2025 Israeli strikes on Iran. It is the first time Israeli officials admit operating a clandestine drone base within Iran. Mossad agents had smuggled and assembled explosive UAVs used to disable missile launchers and air defenses. The aerial bombardment that followed targeted dozens of SSM launchers, storage bunkers, and IRGC command sites across multiple areas. Together, the operations marked a significant escalation in the long running shadow conflict between Israel and Iran, presenting a new model of hybrid warfare blending espionage, sabotage, and significant air power.
