Iran once created a unit to counter Israel, but its leader turned out to be a Mossad agent.

This was stated by former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, according to the Turkish publication Son Dakika.

"We created a unit to counter Israel, and the man who led it turned out to be a Mossad agent," he said.

It has previously been suggested that a mole in the Iranian leadership helped the Jewish state eliminate the Hezbollah leader .
