Joint intelligence operation reveals IRGC
network. The Mossad, IDF, and Shin Bet jointly announced the
exposure of IRGC’s Unit 4000, which they say was tasked with assassinating
senior Israeli officials and striking strategic infrastructure worldwide. The
revelation followed months of intelligence work and arrests in Azerbaijan,
where operatives allegedly acted under direct Iranian orders. The network’s
discovery is linked to the broader US-Israeli campaign against Iran launched on
February 28.
Foiled plots in Azerbaijan highlight
strategic stakes Azerbaijan’s state security service reported
thwarting attacks on the Israeli embassy in Baku, a synagogue, Jewish community
leaders, and the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, which supplies a third of
Israel’s oil imports. Arrested cell members were reportedly in possession of
explosive drones and fragmentation charges, and had conducted surveillance of
targets.
Key IRGC operatives killed in Operation
Roaring Lion
Rahman Moqadam, head of Unit 4000, and his superior Majid
Khademi were among several senior IRGC figures killed in Israeli strikes.
Moqadam allegedly oversaw recruitment, training, and intelligence gathering on
Israeli, Western, and maritime targets.
Potential long-term geopolitical consequences
The dismantling of Unit 4000 could temporarily weaken
Iran’s overseas strike capabilities, but may also escalate covert hostilities
between Tehran and its adversaries. One scenario sees strengthened regional
security cooperation, especially between Israel, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, to
protect shared infrastructure.
