- Abstract
"Target Tehran: How Israel is using Sabotage, Cyberwarfare, Assassination, and Secret Diplomacy to Stop a Nuclear Iran and Create a New Middle East" is a book written by Yonah Jeremy Bob and Ilan Evyatar that provides a comprehensive account of Israel's covert war against Iran's Islamist regime and its accompanying diplomatic efforts. The authors argue that Israel's ability to demonstrate itself as the most determined and effective enemy of Iranian nuclear ambitions has helped to produce diplomatic achievements, such as the Abraham Accords with Arab countries. The book explores key events, including the theft of documents from Iran's nuclear archive and the assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, and examines the role of covert action and diplomacy in Israel's strategy. The authors also discuss the differing opinions among former Mossad directors regarding the efficacy of covert action versus diplomacy. Overall, the book offers a well-written and engaging account of Israel's efforts for security and recognition in the Middle East, although it should be noted that the events of October 7, 2023, may impact the historical perspective of some of the players involved.
