As one of those people, I must confess I have no good sources.  All I
remember is unconfirmed news reports of spare parts for Iran's American
weapons reaching Iran from Israel.  These reports appeared on TV news
several years ago.  There was no direct mention in the reports of Israeli
government involvement, only an indirect implication.
   The reports, to me at least, were plausible.  Of course, that does
not necessarily make them true.
