From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story.
I'm Rosie Wright.
As US and Israeli warplanes unleashed, Wave upon wave of attacks on Iran in this past week,
a team of intelligence operatives were working relentlessly behind the scenes to identify which targets to strike.
Now, 20 years ago, when the US invaded Iraq, that team would have consisted of 2,000 plus people.
Today, it's about 20.
Why?
