Operatives of Israel’s premier spy agency Mossad were arrested in Qatar and Saudi Arabia while planning bombings and raising concerns over possible false-flag operations in the Gulf region, American conservative activist and commentator Tucker Carlson has claimed.

 

As per the details, Carlson said that authorities in Qatar and Saudi Arabia had “apprehended Mossad operatives planning to detonate explosives in those countries”, and suggested that the actions were aimed at creating disorder, potentially framing Iran to involve Gulf states more directly in the regional conflict.

 

He also said the intent appeared to be to “sow chaos and disorder, potentially blaming Iran to draw the Gulf states deeper into the ongoing regional war”.

 

The allegations come amid escalating military actions in the region. Joint strikes by the United States (US) and Israel on Iran have resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei besides hundreds of others.

 

Iran has responded with multiple missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli positions and US military assets across the region.

 

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said they launched drones and missiles at a US air base in Bahrain, claiming the Sheikh Isa facility’s main command headquarters was destroyed. 

 

Saudi Arabia reported drone strikes on the US embassy compound in Riyadh, causing limited material damage. Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE and Israel all reported intercepting missiles and drones fired from Iran.

 

US Central Command confirmed that over 1,250 targets had been struck within 48 hours, including missile sites, naval vessels and command centres, and reported six US service member deaths. 

 

The US State Department also advised Americans to leave 15 Middle Eastern countries, while Canada urged its citizens to depart the UAE if possible.

 

IRGC warned that the US “will no longer be safe” if operations continue, and Qatar reserved the right to respond to Iranian strikes.
