An Israeli security source told the Saudi Al-Hadath channel that Iran planned to assassinate Israeli figures in Tel Aviv in retaliation for the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The source also claimed that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is not in Iran and that IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi composes messages attributed to him. Additional allegations include deepening internal divisions in Iran and Washington's opposition to Israeli participation in strikes against Iran.
A new report from an Israeli security source to the Saudi Al-Hadath channel, posted at 11:34 Jerusalem, reiterates the allegation that Iran planned to assassinate Israeli figures in Tel Aviv in retaliation for the killing of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The source also claimed that Washington opposes Israeli participation in military operations against Iran. The report follows a series of updates from the same source earlier today.
The Zioneer first reported the assassination plot claim at 09:19 Jerusalem, along with assertions that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is not in Iran and that IRGC chief Ahmad Vahidi authors messages attributed to him. At 11:27 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published an update focusing on the source's claim that calls to dissolve the IRGC have sparked backlash from senior commanders. The 11:34 report adds no new verifiable details beyond the earlier claims.
As The Zioneer has reported, Mojtaba Khamenei's absence from public view has been a recurring theme: contact with him was reportedly lost during the June missile escalation, and he was barred from attending his father's funeral in early July over assassination fears. Reuters reported Saturday that his continued absence could weaken the regime. The latest claims from the Israeli source align with that pattern but remain unconfirmed.
All assertions in this thread rest on a single anonymous Israeli security source. The assassination plot, Khamenei's whereabouts, and the internal divisions within Iran's leadership remain unverified by independent sources. The Zioneer will continue to track developments.
