Summarized from Israel National News by baba

English · 1 newsroom

A New York Times investigation alleges that Israel's Mossad abducted Iranian General Ali-Reza Asgari in Istanbul around 20 years ago and interrogated him for weeks about missing Israeli navigator Ron Arad. The interrogation yielded no information, and former U.S. officials claim Mossad operatives subsequently killed Asgari and dumped his body in the Black Sea. This contradicts a 2024 report suggesting Asgari had defected and was alive in the U.S.
