Israel carried out cyber espionage for years in planning the attack that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Israel had hacked most of the traffic cameras in Tehran. Live footage from these cameras was encrypted and sent to servers in Tel Aviv and southern Israel. Its purpose was to create a complete ‘digital map’ of the daily life of Khamenei and his security circle, so that precise attacks could be carried out.

Mossad started planning years ago

According to a major report in the Financial Times, many current and former Israeli intelligence officers and people have been quoted as saying that Israel’s Unit 8200 and Mossad started this operation years ago. Traffic cameras in Tehran used to track the parking of bodyguards, arrival times, routes, guard changes and who was accompanying them. One camera, especially near Khamenei’s compound, was at such an angle that it was clearly visible where the bodyguards’ cars were parked.

Israel was understanding Khamenei’s life pattern

Apart from this, mobile network was also breached. The movement of the security staff was clear from the phone location. From this, Khamenei’s ‘life pattern’ (daily habits) was created, when he goes to office, when meetings take place, who he is with, etc.

The report says that this intel was used to precisely attack Khamenei’s compound, where he was with senior leaders, in the US-Israel strike on February 28, 2026. More than 30 bombs were dropped in the attack and Khamenei died.

Israel reads Tehran like a digital map

It is written in media reports that Israel had read Tehran like a ‘digital map’. Took footage from thousands of cameras and analyzed it with AI and signal intelligence. The routes were known by observing the parking of bodyguards through a camera. Confirmation was available through mobile data.

There has been no official comment from Iran yet, and the report says that all the claims have not been independently verified.

America’s arms stock is ‘unlimited’

This revelation has come on the fourth day of the Iran war, where US-Israel strikes are continuing. In response, Iran launched drone-missile attacks on American bases in Gulf countries. America has issued an alert to its citizens from 14 countries to evacuate. There have been more than 1200 deaths in this war, of which 742 are in Iran. Oil prices crossed $150 per barrel.

Trump said that the stock of weapons is ‘unlimited’ and the war can be fought ‘forever’. Israeli PM Netanyahu also said that it was necessary to stop Khamenei’s nuclear program. This cyber operation shows that the war was planned not just through air strikes, but through years of cyber espionage.

The war that started with Iran in the Middle East has reached its fourth day today. It all started with the joint strikes of America and Israel on 28 February 2026, when Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. Since then the situation has deteriorated rapidly. Iran launched retaliatory attacks, firing drones and missiles at US bases and embassies in Gulf countries. Israel increased attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The death toll in Iran has now reached above 742 and worldwide oil prices have crossed $150 per barrel.

Operation Epic Fury wreaks havoc in Machai Iran

Everything started suddenly. America and Israel launched ‘Operation Epic Fury’. Israeli F-35 and American B-2 bombers attacked Iran’s nuclear sites, ballistic missile bases and leadership targets. Khamenei’s house in Tehran was hit and Iranian media confirmed his death. About 200 people were killed in Iran on the first day, mostly military personnel. America said that this was to stop Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu later told Fox News that if not stopped now, Iran’s programs would have become ‘immune’ from attacks in a few months, meaning the underground bunkers would be so strong that no attack could work. Israel used GBU-28 bunker buster bombs, America fired Tomahawk cruise missiles. A total of more than 500 targets were hit. Iran did not give any major response on the first day, but the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) warned.

Strait of Hormuz closed and missile-drones attacks

Iran started taking revenge. IRGC fired ballistic missiles at US bases in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain. Drone attacks took place in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (UAE). Saudi Arabia and Oman were also attacked. Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. Brigadier General Sardar Ibrahim Jabari said that if any ship passes, they will burn it. On this day, there were 150 deaths due to American strikes in Iran, more than 50 in Gulf countries. 2 deaths among American soldiers. Trump posted on Truth Social that Democrats are only protesting because they are involved. Israel destroyed the IRGC’s communication center in Tehran, from where propaganda was carried out. Iran used Fateh-110 ballistic missiles and Shahed-136 drones. Qatar intercepted 63 out of 65 missiles.

Israel targeted Hezbollah positions

America announced that in the next 24 hours there will be major attacks on Iran’s missile production, drones and navy. Trump told CNN that the ‘Big One’ will come soon and hasn’t even hit ‘hard’ yet. Israel bombed Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV headquarters in Beirut, which is now broadcasting from another location. 52 killed, 154 injured in strikes in southern areas and Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. Israel claimed to have killed PIJ’s Lebanon commander Abu Hamza Rami and Hezbollah’s intel head Hussein Makleh.

Iran attacked the US embassy in Riyadh with two drones, fire broke out but no deaths. There were attacks in Kuwait and Dubai also. America advised its citizens from 14 countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt etc.) to immediately evacuate.

2000 attacks on Iran in the first 30 hours

American and Israeli strikes are continuing in Tehran since this morning. More than 2000 targets have been hit. Israel destroyed more sites of IRIB (Iranian Broadcasting) in Tehran. In response, Iran fired drones at the American base in Erbil, Iraq, where two American soldiers were killed. Thousands of people are fleeing from southern villages in Lebanon, stuck in traffic, 20 more deaths occurred in Lebanon today.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Aragchi posted on X that America started a ‘war of choice’ on behalf of Israel, there was no Iranian threat. US House Speaker Mike Johnson said the attacks were ‘necessary for defense’, and would end soon. Trump said on the Riyadh attack that the response will come ‘very soon’, but will not send ground troops.
