New Delhi: The fabulous break by Tehran has revealed a bold stunt by the Mossad: a woman agent, Catherine Perez-Shakdam, became an insider more than two years ago in Iranian elite society, amassing vital secrets and inside information that were used to direct deadly missile attacks by Israel, a revelation that was detailed on June 20, 2025.
Two years ago, Iran admitted Catherine, a French-origin operative, as a religious seeker. She officially converted to Shia Islam and became a perfect part of the Iranian society. Her good looks and strategic mind won the trust of the families of senior officials, and this gave her access to their personal lives, houses, and even sensitive places.
Using the guise of a respected guest, Catherine developed very close relations with wives of officials and got into closed places. The security agencies in Iran were strict with the people who visited the country, yet she secretly took pictures of houses, security installations, and other important places and would pass the information to Mossad. Her genius assisted Israel in executing precise strikes against nuclear and military sites, leaving Iranian officials bewildered as they scrambled to relocate their associates to other locations.
Iranian intelligence agencies became increasingly vigilant as the attacks consistently targeted specific locations. Research found out that Catherine was featured in photos and videos with senior officials, and this exposed her role. Showing her level of penetration, an Iranian security insider told state media that she was, in a way, like a shadow to their homes.
Catherine has been missing since that time, prompting Iran to initiate a manhunt across the country by pasting her pictures in various cities. People speculate that she might be using a different identity to continue her activities. She was killed after being reported by the state media in Iran to have performed actions that have led to fatal strikes, which left 639 people dead, 263 of them civilians, but these are not confirmed figures.
The Basij militia now patrols at night to prevent spying, adding to Iran’s paranoia. Other observers are skeptical of the storyline, indicating that Iran could be giving Mossad overblown power as a reason to crack down at home, but the accuracy of Israeli attacks backs up the validity of Catherine as an agent.
This ambitious operation reinforces the brave justifications used by Mossad in response to concerns about Iran’s security struggles and the escalating shadow war with Israel.
