It was claimed that Mossad hacked the traffic cameras around the residence of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei before the operation in which he was killed; about 30 minutes before the attack, it allegedly infiltrated the phone towers to cut off communication and prevent Iranian officials from receiving intelligence.
It has been claimed that the Israeli intelligence service Mossad carried out a remarkable cyber operation against Iranian leader Ali Khamenei. According to a report in the Financial Times, Mossad conducted a large-scale electronic intervention before the operation by infiltrating the security and traffic infrastructure surrounding Khamenei's residence.
THEY HACKED TRAFFIC CAMERAS
Mossad hacked the traffic cameras in the area where Khamenei's residence is located, monitoring the surrounding activity in real-time. It was alleged that the systems enabling the tracking of security units and vehicle traffic were controlled by Israeli intelligence.
THEY CUT OFF ALL COMMUNICATION 30 MINUTES BEFORE
The report also stated that an intervention was carried out on Iran's communication infrastructure approximately 30 minutes before the attack. It was claimed that Mossad infiltrated the local cell towers, preventing Iranian officials from receiving intelligence, and during this process, Khamenei's communication network was also cut off.
BLOW TO INTELLIGENCE FLOW
This cyber intervention is alleged to have been carried out to complicate the coordination of Iranian security units during the operation and to disrupt the flow of intelligence.
NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT
While there has been no official statement from Iranian authorities regarding the claims, the Israeli side also refrained from commenting on the matter. However, experts note that in recent years, cyber intelligence operations have played an increasingly important role in the military and political tensions in the region.
