Description
A Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year/PoliticsWinner of the Jewish Book Council's Natan Notable Book Prize "One of the most accurate and fascinating books so far" (Michael Bar-Zohar, coauthor of Mossad) about how Israel used sabotage, assassination, cyberwar--and diplomacy--to thwart Iran's development of nuclear weapons and, in the process, begin to reshape the Middle East. Yonah Bob and Ilan Evyatar describe how Israel has used cyberwarfare, targeted assassinations, and sabotage of Iranian facilities to great effect, sometimes in cooperation with the United States. Even as it takes lethal action, Israel has managed to alter the politics of the Middle East, culminating in the Abraham Accords of 2020. Arab states such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalized relations with Israel, and the holy grail of normalization with Saudi Arabia may yet be achieved. Despite the war with Hamas, these Arab states share Israel's concern with Iran, remaining silent while Israel undermines Iran's nuclear program. Bob and Evyatar reveal how Israel has used documents stolen from Tehran in a daring, secret Mossad raid to show the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency how Iran has repeatedly violated the 2015 JCPOA nuclear agreement and lied about its active nuclear weapons program. Drawing from interviews with top confidential Israeli and US sources, including from the Mossad and the CIA, the authors tell the "thrilling" (Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, author of Battlegrounds) inside story of the tumultuous, and often bloody, history of how Israel has managed to outmaneuver Iran--so far.

Reviews
"Target Tehran is replete with anti-Iran cyber-warfare and sabotage successes. . . . Bob and Evyatar reveal, basically for the first time, how Mossad's work helped create the environment culminating in the Abraham Accords."--John Bolton "The Wall Street Journal"
"Target Tehran is more than a thrilling tale that combines intelligence operations, diplomacy, and espionage. It is a story that sheds fresh light and understanding on the threat from Iran and why is vitally important to ensure that the theocratic dictatorship in Tehran does not gain access to the most destructive weapons on earth."--Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster (USA-Ret.), former U.S. National Security Advisor and author of Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World
"One of the most accurate and fascinating books so far about the secret war waged by Israel and her allies against the Iranian nuclear project. In a fast, riveting style, Yonah Jeremy Bob and Ilan Evyatar describe this secret war that will have a tremendous impact on world history. But it leaves open one cardinal question: will Iran become a nuclear power? Or will Israel, the US and their allies be ready to use all possible means, including the military option, in order to prevent the ayatollahs from achieving their dark goals?"--Michael Bar Zohar, author of Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service and The Mossad Amazons: The Amazing Women in the Israeli Secret Service
