How 'Israel' used AI and spy network to plan Iran attack
A detailed report by the Associated Press revealed that 'Israel' relied on a covert network of spies and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in preparing for its recent "Rising Lion" attack on Iran.
The surprise assault, launched early Friday, targeted military sites and nuclear facilities deep inside Iran using warplanes and drones. It resulted in the deaths of several generals and nuclear scientists, and temporarily disabled Iran’s air and missile defense systems.
Years of Planning
According to AP’s report, which draws on interviews with current and former intelligence and military officials, the planning for "Rising Lion" took several years.
A former head of research at Israeli Occupation’s Mossad intelligence agency described the attack as "the culmination of years of work by Mossad to target Iran’s nuclear program."
Smuggled Drones and Intelligence Gaps
Mossad reportedly worked with Israeli Occupation’s military for over three years to secure essential gear for the operation, including the smuggling of small drones hidden in vehicles to allow for close-range strikes.
The operation was based on intelligence obtained during airstrikes in Iran last October, which revealed significant gaps in Iranian air defenses.
AI-Powered Targeting
Artificial intelligence played a central role in the strike. An intelligence officer involved in target selection said 'Israel' used AI to analyze data, intercept communications, and track the movements of Iranian leaders.
The plan was set into motion after 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered preparations for the attack last October. Mossad officers compiled a list of senior Iranian military figures, including their workplaces, routines, and even leisure activities.
In tandem with AI systems, spies on the ground tracked Iranian nuclear scientists and key figures in the Revolutionary Guard to enable precision targeting.
The report notes that Mossad’s efforts to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program date back to the early 2000s, including the use of the Stuxnet virus, reportedly developed jointly by 'Israel' and the United States, to disrupt centrifuges, and the 2018 theft of a secret Iranian nuclear archive.
