According to reports by Asharq Al-Awsat, a Western intelligence agency has delivered a massive intelligence file to the Iraq government containing Israeli-prepared intelligence on Iranian-backed armed factions operating inside the country.
The file reportedly includes highly detailed profiles of militia leaders, covert operatives, financial managers, and alleged front institutions embedded within state structures. Iraqi officials were said to be stunned by the precision and depth of the intelligence, which maps both operational networks and financial pipelines linked to Iran and its regional proxies.
NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
This report highlights the deep penetration of Israeli intelligence into Iran’s proxy network far beyond Israel’s borders. The sharing of such material with Baghdad suggests growing Western impatience with Tehran’s destabilization of Iraq and signals that Iranian-backed terrorists are increasingly exposed, documented, and vulnerable. It also reinforces Israel’s central role in confronting Iran’s regional terror infrastructure on behalf of broader Western security interests.
