The spy agency is said to have worked its way high up into Iran's security services.
Mossad is suspected of being behind the killing of Iran's top nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh
Mr Alavi said the person who planned the killing was "a member of the armed forces. We couldn't carry out intelligence operations on the armed forces". A former intelligence officer for the IRGC Quds Force has told the BBC foreign agencies have gathered evidence against a number of Iranian ambassadors and IRGC commanders.
On his last day in office, in August 2021, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani confirmed Israel stole Iran's nuclear documents and showed the evidence to US President Donald Trump. In the final year of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidency in 2013, there were rumours that IRGC commanders, intelligence officers and even panegyrists had been arrested for spying for the Mossad. But those allegations were never officially confirmed.
"I'm against any publicity. If you want to shoot, shoot, don't talk… the Mossad's reputation is to do fantastic operations, allegedly, clandestine, without publicity."
