According to the British newspaper, the squad that eliminated Fahrizadeh, which included more than 20 members from Israel and Iran, smuggled the pieces of the rifle under close eight-month surveillance, according to intelligence sources who spoke with the newspaper. The same sources also said that the Tehran administration estimates that it will take at least six years for anyone replacing Pharisees to learn the job in full.

Sources in Israel estimated that Fahrizadeh’s death caused a delay in the speed with which Iran could reach the bomb, from three and a half months to two years – and according to senior intelligence sources, the delay could even reach five years.

In addition, according to international intelligence sources, Israel was solely responsible for the death of Pharisee – the only involvement of the United States was when American officials were given a “small hint, like checking the water temperature” before the assassination was launched. Other sources noted that the operation was successful in the end because the Iranian security forces were too busy preferring to pursue opponents of the regime in Tehran.

Yaakov Nagel, former deputy head of the National Security Council, told the newspaper that “the Mossad has documents proving that Fahrizda worked on several nuclear warheads, each of which is capable of causing moisture.Mash Hiroshima. He was serious and intended to do what he had planned, so someone decided he had spent enough time on Earth. “
