The Secret War with Iran

          In the years since 9/11, the U.S. war on terror has focused on al Qaeda, Afghanistan and Iraq. Coverage of Iran has been devoted almost exclusively to its nuclear ambitions. Yet, as Dr. Ronen Bergman’s ground-breaking study reveals, for the past thirty years Iran has been the world’s leading sponsor of global terror and it stands today as the most formidable sponsor of terror in the world.
          Bergman, one of Israel’s leading investigative journalists, has written a book based on the unparalleled access that he gained to an impressive range of sources in the Mossad and other intelligence agencies around the world, including high-placed officials in these organizations. He reveals how Iranian terrorist masterminds have crisscrossed the globe, conducting bombings and assassinations with impunity - even renting apartments in New York City as part of a planned bombing campaign in that city. At the same time, Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy, has virtually taken over southern Lebanon, undermining the chances for Middle East stability and threatening Israel with high-powered weaponry supplied by Iran. Iran and Hezbollah worked closely with al Qaeda and other Sunni terrorist groups in developing their terrorist attacks, and Iranian commandos trained Iraqi insurgents in suicide bombing and detonating roadside bombs - two types of operations which have been responsible for a disproportionate number of deaths of U.S. troops in Iraq.
        In response, and largely out of the public eye, a vast clandestine war is being fought, with Iran and Hezbollah on one side and the CIA, the Mossad and their European counterparts on the other. To date, the West has been unable to thwart Iran's propagation of terror around the world. The full story of this secret war is disclosed here for the first time. The revelations contained in this book will fundamentally change the debate about the U.S. national security priorities.
        Bergman's book is the product of more than 10 years of research, and is based on over 300 exclusive interviews, including with key figures from American, Israeli, British, French, German, Argentinean and other intelligence services.
