I hope so. Via the Telegraph:
It is using hitmen, sabotage, front companies and double agents to disrupt the regime's illicit weapons project, the experts say...
..."Without military strikes, there is still considerable scope for disrupting and damaging the Iranian programme and this has been done with some success," said Yossi Melman, a prominent Israeli journalist who covers security and intelligence issues for the Haaretz newspaper.
Mossad and Western intelligence operations have also infiltrated the Iranian nuclear programme and "bought" information from prominent atomic scientists. Israel has later selectively leaked some details to its allies, the media and United Nations atomic agency inspectors.
While I still think that the nuclear issue is best discussed directly with the primary supporter of Iran's nuclear program, Russia, it's good news that Israel is using these precise tactics to weaken (but not destroy) Iran's government. America should also consider using covert action against other terror-supporting nations like Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen.
