Mossad tries again to directly influence US diplomacy on Iran

Once upon a time, there was a clandestine spy organization that acted only in the shadows.

Then came the 2018 Mossad raid on Iran’s nuclear archives and a new age of the agency openly trying to influence America’s diplomacy on Iran.

This past week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett firmly moved into Benjamin Netanyahu’s use of the Mossad in an open way to achieve strategic statecraft goals.

According to a wave of reports, arrests of multiple Iranian agents in both Europe and then Iran itself have helped crack a plot to assassinate three individuals.

One was an Israeli diplomat in Turkey, the second was a US general in Germany and the third was a French journalist.

Part of what was unusually significant was that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was trying to assassinate a US general at the same time it was trying to convince the Biden administration to remove the IRGC from the US Foreign Terrorist Organizations list.

That the Mossad would do its best to thwart the assassination is obvious.

However, that the Mossad would broadcast to the US, Iran and the world that it had arrested a top IRGC official and interrogated him in Iran as part of thwarting the plot, was foreign to the Mossad’s conduct for almost all of its existence, up until the 2018-2021 Cohen-Netanyahu era.

It is very clear that exposure of the Mossad operation to arrest and interrogate a senior IRGC official inside Iran was a decision pushed by Bennett.

The reasons that Bennett’s spin doctors have given for publicizing the operation relate to trying to influence America not to delist the IRGC as a terrorist organization and to embarrass and disrupt the IRGC itself within Iran.

However, all of this could have also been achieved simply by sending the same message to the CIA and to the IRGC in a more typical and under-the-radar manner.

This means that the reasons for publicizing the operation were not just to influence US strategic policy on Iran, but that they also have political overtones at a time when Bennett is struggling in the political arena.

At the end of the day, if Bennett successfully influenced the US not to delist the IRGC from the terrorist list, partially because of publicly exposing this plot to assassinate a US general, many may not care that much about what Bennett’s political or unpolitical motivations might have been.

In that case, the bigger question six months and six years from now will be whether blocking the US from delisting the IRGC, which might also block a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, will have been the best or worst way to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in the long term.

Are France and NATO Shipping Depleted Uranium Weaponry Into Ukraine?

A shocking development which contravenes European and international commitments to a clean environment and protecting the health and well-being of their populations.

During a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this past week, President Emmanuel Macron insisted that France would step up its military and humanitarian support for Ukraine.

There is no question that Macron is committed in this respect. Following his re-election during the final round against challenger Marine Le Pen, he was adamant about his desire to work actively during his second term to restore Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, while always maintaining close coordination with his European partners and allies. He also indicated France’s readiness to contribute to an agreement that provides security guarantees for Ukraine.

Of course, a key part of this support is the supply of weapons. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, France has always refused to specify exactly what type of armaments it was sending to Kiev.

The secret was finally revealed by Macron himself during an interview he gave on Thursday 21st April to news media outlet Ouest France.

When asked if Europe was in the process of supplying heavy weapons, especially tanks, as German has done with its Leopard tanks, he replied:

Everyone takes their responsibilities with their political balances, and I do not interfere in the political life of others. We are very coordinated. The day before yesterday I spoke to Chancellor Scholz on this subject. We still deliver substantial equipment, from the MILAN [anti-tank missiles] to the Caesars [guns], including several types of weapons. I think we have to continue on this path. Always with a red line, which is not to enter into co-belligerence.

The interviewer went on asking if tanks were necessary, and this is Macron’s reply:

Some countries have made this choice. It is a debate at the heart of German political life, it is a choice that belongs sovereignly to Germany, and we respect it. We have the same strategy as the Chancellor, which is to say: we must help the Ukrainians as much as possible, but we must be careful never to be co-belligerent.

Furthermore, Agence France-Presse (AFP) asked the Élysée Palace for comments, but they did not specify the number of MILAN missiles and Caesar guns delivered, so as not to “give operational information” which could be used by the Russian Army.

Pfizer profits rocket by 61% to $7.86B as revenue swells 77% due to Covid vaccine and Paxlovid pill - but stock slips as it fails to raise full-year sales forecast

COVID-19 vaccine and treatment sales helped Pfizer breeze past Wall Street's first-quarter expectations, as the drugmaker's profit grew 61 percent.

The coronavirus vaccine Comirnaty, which has been Pfizer's top seller for about a year, brought in more than $13 billion in sales in the quarter. The pill treatment Paxlovid, which launched late last year, added another $1.5 billion.

All that helped company revenue swell 77 percent, compared to last year's quarter, when vaccine sales were still ramping up.

But in a sign that the days of dizzying growth are coming to an end, Pfizer didn't hike its full-year sales forecast for both products, as well as total revenue, and company shares slipped in early trading before erasing earlier losses.

Overall, Pfizer on Tuesday posted net income of $7.86 billion, and adjusted earnings of $1.62 per share in the first quarter, easily topping the $1.49 projected by industry analysts, according to a survey by FactSet.

Revenue was $25.66 billion, also beating Wall Street expectations for $24.1 billion.
