Former Mossad Official Addresses Iranian Espionage Concerns Over INS Drakon Former senior Mossad official Sagiv Assulin addressed concerns that Iran may have attempted to use Iranian researchers in Kiel, Germany, to gather intelligence on the construction of Israel's INS Drakon submarine. Assulin said the likelihood of such a sophisticated operation is very low, as it would require identifying the target and positioning operatives well in advance. However, he warned that a strategic project such as the Drakon leaves no room for complacency and said every potential threat must be investigated and neutralized.
