MEF's @youssefiani on ex-Mossad chief David Barnea's account that the Mossad released footage of its Iran assets to provoke mass arrests: treating thousands of detained Iranians as cover feeds the regime's narrative and is poor public diplomacy. xitter.cf/youssefiani/status/211…
⚠️ Clever spy-craft?
Barnea boasts Mossad released video of its assets so Iran's thug regime would mass-arrest, giving his agents cover.
💥 Boasting 21,000 Iranians were arrested, ordinary, innocent Iranians were treated as noise to absorb.
💥 Being used w/o care is exactly what Iranians fear most, and it matches the regime's narrative.
👉‼️ Swagger / Bravado is not SMART public diplomacy!
