Sardar Ammar: Iran's Plot-Twisting Bond Villain, Now Mossad's Most-Wanted Punchline

Sleeps with one eye open

Oh, Iran. Always auditioning for the role of Global Bad Guy in the never-ending spy thriller that's our world. They've been cooking up these half-baked murder schemes against Israelis and Jews like it's a twisted episode of Chopped, but with more keffiyehs and fewer decent knives. 

And Mossad are the guys who are the Gordon Ramsay of counterterrorism, spotting the flops from a mile away and shutting 'em down before dessert. But now, the curtain's pulled back on the greasy chef himself: Sardar Ammar, some big-shot commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Israel just slapped his mugshot on every wanted poster from here to Tehran. If you're scoring at home, that's code for "sleep with one eye open, buddy."

More about Ammar can be found here: "Mossad names 'Sardar Ammar' as architect of Iranian plots in Australia, Greece, and Germany," by Amichai Stein, Jerusalem Post, October 26, 2025:

Israel's Mossad on Sunday publicly identified a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) figure it says oversaw multiple foiled attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide in 2024–2025 and pointed to fresh diplomatic fallout, including Australia’s expulsion of Iran’s ambassador and Germany’s summoning of Tehran’s envoy. 

In a statement released via the Prime Minister's Office on behalf of the Mossad, the agency said it was "exposing for the first time" a network under Sardar Ammar, a senior IRGC commander operating under Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Quds Force, which it said directed attempts in Australia, Greece, and Germany. The Mossad described the modus operandi as "terror without Iranian fingerprints, high compartmentalization, recruitment of foreigners, use of criminals, and covert communications," adding that "thanks to intensive activity with partners in Israel and abroad, dozens of attack tracks were thwarted, saving many lives."The agency said Ammar’s mechanism "was directly responsible for the attempted attacks revealed in Greece, Australia, and Germany over the past year," alleging it sought to strike "Israeli and Jewish targets in Israel and abroad" but was repeatedly exposed, leading to "a wave of arrests."…

All those plots were epic fails, every one. 

Australia, Greece, Germany, pick a continent, Iran botched it. Mossad sniffed 'em out like a bloodhound on espresso, tipped off the locals, and boom: perps in cuffs faster than you can say "extradition treaty." Down Under, it got so bad Canberra basically told Iran's ambassador to pack his hummus and go home, severing ties like a bad blind date. Over in Germany, they hauled the Iranian envoy in for a stern "talk," you know, the kind where you get the hairy eyeball and a not-so-subtle "don't make us do this again." 

Oh, and that Danish stooge spying on Berlin's Jewish spots for the IRGC  is probably explaining himself to a very unamused judge right now.

For all his globe-trotting scheming, Sardar Ammar's hit rate is lower than whale poop. Zero successes. A big fat goose egg on the terror scoreboard. And now his name, face, and whole rap sheet are out there, courtesy of Mossad's "hey world, this guy's the problem" press release. After all that sneaky bull pucks, hiring lowlifes, ghosting communications like a flaky Tinder match, does anyone seriously think Israel's allow him a personal Netflix account and chill in some safe house forever? I doubt it. He's got a one-way ticket to the great plot twist in the sky. Or, as the ayatollahs might put it, "Allahu Akbar... wait, what was that shadow?" 

Tick-tock, Sardar. Your sequel's getting canceled.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.
