By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers.
B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.
Mossad did a funny on Hezbollah by setting up a shell company in Hungary. Which is run by Victor Orban who is nominally part of the EU (but they really want to throw Hungary out of the EU). Hungary sides with Russia and Ol’ Puty Poot every chance they get.
Yet somehow the West is at fault for making some spicy pagers.🤔
Sounds like you’re reaching harder than the Iranian ambassador when his pager goes off.
Just in case you hadn’t seen this follow-up:

And some info even suggests that this B.A.C. company was a shell company owned by Israel:

So let me summarize your own logic.
