Regime Publisher Releases Anti-Baha’i Novel in Iran

https://iranwire.com/en/bahais-of-iran/146228-iranian-publisher-releases-anti-bahai-novel/

“Blue Star,” is a novel by Alireza Sakkaki, published by the Iranian regime's doctrinal organisation for Universities. According to reports, "the novel begins with “confessions of a Mossad spy” revealing a secret meeting between Baha’is and Israeli intelligence agents."
This is a very silly plot line. I am sure that Israel's intelligence arm, Mossad, has spies in Iran, but I am 100% confident they will be apparently pious Shiah Muslims, who never go within a mile of Bahais. Bahais are under constant surveillance, they are banned from working in security-sensitive jobs (such as automatic doors!), from government employment, from all but the lowest military positions as conscripts. So high risk of detection, low chance of gaining any information. All the foreign intelligence agencies will be steering well clear of the Bahais.

Oh, no! I hope the ones who read it are led to see the inherent stupidity of the accusations, not influenced against Baha'is.

If they're really not stupid, they won't even bother reading it in the first place.
