Al-Julani exposed? Iran claims he's a Mossad agent

The Tehran Times, associated with the Islamic Republic, published an article yesterday (Tuesday) indicating the possibility that Syrian President Abu Muhammad al-Julani, also known as Ahmad al-Sharaa, is in fact a nefarious Mossad agent.

The authors pointed out that his origins are unknown, and there is no clear documentation of his path from civilian life to becoming the leader of Jabhat al-Nusra. His original name, it seems, is Ahmad al-Sharaa, but many details about his life, including how he advanced in the ranks of global jihad, remain obscure.

According to the Iranians, Al-Julani has acted with caution towards Israel over the years, setting him apart from other jihadist organizations. Although at one point his forces effectively controlled the strip adjacent to the Israeli border in the Syrian Golan, they consistently refrained from firing towards Israel or getting involved in conflict.

Additionally, according to the report, activists from his organization were treated in hospitals in northern Israel between 2014 and 2018, which Israel defined as a humanitarian step, but from Tehran's perspective, it indicates operational ties.

The suspicion was further deepened by the documents and personal items of the spy Eli Cohen, which were recently transferred to the Mossad from a secret Syrian archive, a move that Tehran claims could not have been carried out without cooperation from within the regime.
