Recruit, deploy, discard
This article explores the rise in cases of Jewish Israeli citizens engaging in espionage and sabotage for Iranian intelligence. Drawing on over 30 documented incidents, it examines how financial hardship, psychological instability, and ethnic marginalisation have created openings for foreign recruitment. Using insights from psychology and identity theory, the study shows how personal crises and deep-seated inequality can weaken national loyalty. …
NOCs and illegals in the current surveillance landscape

The purpose of this article is to explore a rather hypothetical assumption about Japan’s intelligence capabilities and the perspective of the emergence of case officers capable to run human intelligence (HUMINT) operations abroad. To examine this notion, the article first draws on the concept of intelligence culture and defines and analyzes the key attributes of an outstanding case officer as seen by top-tier intelligence agencies. Then, the stud…
Ethnic Minorities in the Soviet Illegal Intelligence
The recruitment strategies employed by the KGB’s First Chief Directorate (FCD) displayed an apparent dichotomy, utilizing a two-pronged approach. On one hand, individuals who intended to operate under diplomatic cover were predominantly Slavs with a strong ideological background. On the other hand, individuals from discriminated ethnic minorities, among the Slavs, were often employed as undercover intelligence operatives known as illegals. This a…
Israel’s Intelligence Services in Iran
This article is the first systematic attempt that combines the analysis of the vulnerabilities to which the Iranian intelligence services have been exposed in the last decades and the ways and methods of Israel’s intelligence—most and foremost, the Mossad—to exploit them. In particular, four factors have been looked into (i.e., rivalries between various players of the political establishment and intelligence agencies, regime fragility, tense geop…
