Operation Opera| How Mossad Infiltrated Iraq’s Nuclear Ambitions

In 1981, Israeli intelligence uncovered a chilling truth Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was on the brink of acquiring nuclear capability. For Israel, this was an existential threat. What followed was a masterclass in espionage and precision warfare.

Mossad agents sabotaged key reactor components, infiltrated supply chains, and gathered critical intelligence from deep inside Iraq. But when diplomacy and sabotage failed, Israel took decisive action. On June 7, 1981, the Israeli Air Force launched a daring airstrike on Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor, reducing it to rubble in minutes.

The world condemned the strike, but Israel had sent a clear message existential threats would never be tolerated. Operation Opera remains one of the most audacious preemptive strikes in history, a testament to Israel’s intelligence mastery and military precision.
