The Iranian Intelligence Ministry tracked down and arrested members of a Mossad spy network who were planning to sabotage the country's defense industry through security marketing. 

The Mossad's espionage network's plot was to gather information from Iranian knowledge-based companies that cooperate with the country's defense industries.

The Mossad hired data broker Frank Genin, who in Iran presented himself as "chief of a spare parts manufacturing company," alleging his ability to contact several Iranian companies and employees, according to a report. 

The Mossad agent then invited his Iranian coworkers to a seminar in Malaysia, where he introduced them to another Mossad agent, Hadrien Lavaux.

Triple A industries, established in 2017, is a cover-up company based in Singapore. Since its establishment, it started communicating with Iranian companies that provide carbon fibers, resin and other metal alloys.

According to the Triple A's website, Frank Genin is the chairman of the company, whereas according to Business Monitor, Lavaux is the branch office director. According to his official website, Genin claims to have worked in food supply in Lebanon in 1982, then again in Vietnam in 1988, then again in Mozambique. 

Between 1990 and 1999, Genin was "a speaker at multiple conferences in Europe on Russian domestic politics, European Geopolitics, Israeli-Arab Conflicts, Monetary crisis, South Africa and Mozambique."

Associates connected to Lavaux attended exhibitions in Iran, in addition to monitoring scientific conferences and learning the Iranian defense industries' needs. Later on, they began identifying chiefs, salespersons, and key employees in companies that are active in Iran's defense industries. 

According to Press TV, these employees were invited to attend multiple conferences abroad, including in Turkey, Hungary, Oman, and Georgia - and their trips' costs were fully covered.

Despite this, Iranian intelligence were able to monitor and closely watch said trips, hence their tracking down of the network. 

The Mossad has had a hand in the violent riots that went on in the country in the past months, supporting terrorist attacks in this covert war on Iranian soil.
