How Israel used inside agents to kill Hamas chief in Iran

Accordingย toย aย reportย followingย the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh,ย Israel recruited securityย personnel in Iran toย installย explosivesย inย theย hotelย inย Tehranย where the Hamas chief wasย staying.

Theย originalย intention,ย accordingย toย aย report inย Theย Telegraph,ย wasย toย killย Haniyehย whenย heย wentย toย Tehranย inย Mayย toย attendย theย burialย ofย theย lateย Iranianย Presidentย Ebrahimย Raisi. Theย operationย wasย notย carriedย outย inย Mayย becauseย ofย theย hugeย  number of peopleย insideย theย building andย theย highย likelihoodย ofย failure,ย accordingย toย twoย Iranianย officialsย whoย spokeย toย Theย Telegraphย onย conditionย ofย anonymity.

Accordingย toย theย allegation,ย Haniyehย wasย beingย housedย inย aย buildingย whereย theย Islamicย Revolutionaryย Guardย Corpย (IRGC)ย agentsย hadย hiddenย bombsย inย threeย differentย rooms.

Theย Iranianย sourcesย whoย talkedย withย Theย Telegraphย claimedย toย haveย seenย CCTVย footageย showingย theย IRGCย officersย movingย stealthilyย acrossย severalย rooms,ย enteringย andย leavingย inย aย matterย ofย minutes. Theย agentsย slippedย outย ofย theย nationย soonย afterย carryingย outย theย operation.

Israel behind Hamas chief killing

Accordingย toย Iranianย sources,ย Mossadย wasย almostย definitelyย involvedย inย theย assassination. Itย isย importantย toย remember,ย meanwhile,ย thatย Israelย hasย notย acknowledgedย norย deniedย itsย involvementย inย Haniyeh’sย murder.

Anย IRGCย officerย stated,ย “Theyย areย nowย certainย thatย Mossadย hiredย agentsย fromย theย Ansarย al-Mahdiย protectionย unit,”ย alludingย toย theย IRGCย forceย inย chargeย ofย high-rankingย officials’ย security.

“Iย stillย don’tย understandย howย itย happened;ย it’sย aย mysteryย toย me.”

Heย continued,ย “Thereย hasย toย beย somethingย moreย importantย thatย nobodyย isย awareย ofย higherย upย inย theย hierarchy.

Theย officialsย furtherย disclosedย thatย severalย IRGCย sectionsย areย accusingย oneย anotherย ofย securityย lapsesย inย theย midstย ofย theย pandemonium,ย resultingย inย anย internalย blameย game.

Tackling security loopholes more important than revenge for Iran

Theย IRGCย Qudsย forceย commander,ย Esmailย Qaani,ย hasย beenย callingย forย peopleย toย beย sacked,ย detained,ย andย possiblyย putย toย death.

Accordingย toย oneย ofย theย insiders,ย “Theย Supremeย Leaderย hasย summonedย allย theย commandersย severalย timesย overย theย pastย twoย days;ย heย wantsย answers.”

Heย continued,ย “Forย him,ย dealingย withย theย securityย breachย isย nowย moreย importantย thanย gettingย even.”

It’sย interestingย toย noteย thatย worriesย aboutย Israel’sย influenceย withinย theย IRGCย haveย beenย expressedย before. Iran’sย formerย ministerย ofย intelligence,ย Aliย Younisi,ย statedย inย anย interviewย inย 2020ย thatย “allย theย Islamicย Republicย officialsย shouldย beย worriedย aboutย theirย lives.”

“The reasonย theย Zionistย dictatorshipย hasn’tย attackedย theย Islamicย Republic’sย politicalย leadershipย yetย isย thatย itย hasn’tย madeย theย decisionย toย doย so. Becauseย ofย thisย disregardย forย Mossad,ย itย hasย beenย ableย toย publiclyย andย frequentlyย threatenย Islamicย Republicย officials,”ย heย continued.
