An Iranian spy reportedly transferred the exact coordinates of the Azrieli towers in Tel Aviv and attempted to recruit additional agents inside Israel, according to a single security-related source.
An Iranian spy passed the precise location of the Azrieli towers in central Tel Aviv to his handlers and attempted to recruit additional operatives inside Israel, according to an announcement by an Israeli security body. This update was published at Thu 10:46 Jerusalem, the same publication hour as the entire prior thread — suggesting coordinated clearance. The suspect, a Tajik national with a Russian passport, was arrested in June 2026, and the Shin Bet and Defense Ministry's security authority have now revealed that the Azrieli towers were among the specific targets he documented.
As The Zioneer has reported throughout Thu (first version at 10:46 Jerusalem), the suspect — initially identified as Behrouz Sobirgon (spellings vary) — allegedly photographed missile impact sites during Operation Roaring Lion, filmed Haifa Port, and attempted to photograph a sensitive security facility in northern Israel. Over multiple thread versions, the same core facts were repeated: a prosecutor's statement was filed Thursday in Tel Aviv District Court, and a formal indictment is expected soon. The suspect's attempt to recruit additional agents was mentioned in versions 15, 16, 17, and 18 but was not always tied to the Azrieli target; this update now directly links the recruiting efforts to the towers.
The Zioneer reported on Thu 10:46 Jerusalem that the suspect had documented missile impact sites, provided Azrieli coordinates, and photographed Haifa Port — actions described as espionage carried out during the US-Israel 'Operation Roaring Lion'. The security statement noted the suspect was arrested in June 2026. No prior reporting by The Zioneer on this specific case existed before this thread.
The suspect's name has been given as both Behrouz Sobirgon and Behruz Sobirgon across thread versions, and whether he has legal representation or has commented remains unverified. No information has been released on how he was uncovered, the extent of any damage from the intelligence passed, or whether other co-conspirators in Israel are still at large.
