What do you get a spy who is retiring from Mossad after 28 years? A gold watch seems insufficient.
How about a steep drop in Iran's production of enriched uranium?
Or maybe the sinking of an Iranian ship.
Or maybe destroying an Iranian oil refinery.
Can't decide? Do all three.
"The International Atomic Energy Agency’s disclosure represented a fitting parting gift to his country from an official reputedly charged with orchestrating a covert campaign against Iran’s nuclear program. The report circulated to IAEA board members disclosed that only 20 cascades of centrifuges were functioning at the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, down sharply from 35-37 before the mysterious explosion on April 12 took out the plant’s power supply and destroyed hundreds of centrifuges. It was said to have been caused by the remote detonation of an explosive device planted at the Natanz center some years ago.
"The increase of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium also slowed significantly following the April 11 attack – only by an estimated 273 kilograms in the three months ending May 22, which was just over half the 525 kg stockpile increase in the previous quarter.
"Iran accused Israel of orchestrating the Natanz sabotage to torpedo the start of the Vienna talks for restoring the US to the 2015 nuclear pact. Israel did not own up to that incident, or any of the attacks over the last 18 months at several at Iran’s nuclear facilities, or the assassination of the father of Iran’s nuclear program. The only incident Israel has ever admitted was the Mossad raid on Iran’s secret nuclear archive in Tehran. The archive was smuggled out of the country and revealed in a dramatic denouement by PM Netanyahu of Iran’s ulterior nuclear plans in 2018."
Ah, but Cohen did not deny that Mossad gave this to him as a retirement gift.
He said at his retirement party on Monday, "We acted constantly to gather intelligence and uncover secrets and undermine Iran’s self-confidence and arrogance."
Bibi said, "One thing I admire in the organization and you, Yossi, in particular, is the constant readiness to take the initiative and seize the bull by the horns, the bull meaning Iran. When I told you that your supreme mission was to block and hold back by any means Iran’s race for a nuclear bomb, I pushed you and you carried on the push.
"I can’t reveal everything we are doing to counter the ayatollahs regime’s threat to annihilate us. Better to leave affairs of the covert world in the shadows."
Ah, but the successes should broadcast.
Which brings me to the boat.
Hamas-Shielding AP reported with some sadness, "The largest warship in the Iranian navy caught fire and later sank Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman under unclear circumstances, the latest calamity to strike one of the country’s vessels in recent years amid tensions with the West."
Oh dear.
Iranian ships are turning into fire magnets.
The Associated Press also reported, "A massive fire broke out Wednesday night at the oil refinery serving Iran’s capital, sending thick plumes of black smoke over Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if there were injuries.
"The fire struck the state-owned Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co. to the south of Tehran, said Mansour Darajati, the director-general of the capital’s crisis management team.
"Firefighters believe it struck a pipeline for liquefied petroleum gas at the facility, Darajati told Iranian state television. He did not elaborate.
"Associated Press journalists in central Tehran, some 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) away, could see the black smoke rise in the distance. Another AP journalist saw flames shooting into the sky from the site."
When Iranian-funded Hamas fired 4,000 rockets -- unprovoked and indiscriminately -- at Israel, anti-Semitic lefties demanded that Israel respond only proportionately.
But Israel fired far fewer than 4,000 rockets, preferring instead to punish Iran.
Proportionately.
Bye-bye nuke material.
Bye-bye ship.
Bye-bye oil refinery.
Happy retirement, Yossi.
