Mossad hired IRGC security agents to plant explosives that killed Haniyeh — report
Times of Israel ^ | 8/3/24 | TOI Staff

Posted on 08/02/2024 7:50:19 PM PDT by Uncle Miltie

The Mossad enlisted Iranian security agents to plant explosives in the Tehran guesthouse where Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was staying, according to a report in the Telegraph.

The report says the initial plan called for assassinating Haniyeh when visited Tehran in May to attend the funeral of president Ebrahim Raisi, but two Iranian officials tell the newspaper the operation was called off due to the large number of people in the building and seeming high possibility of failure.

The British daily says the agents nevertheless went ahead and planted explosives in three rooms at the compound, and later left Iran. They reportedly detonated the bombs from abroad.

“They are now certain that Mossad hired agents from the Ansar al-Mahdi security unit,” an official in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tells the newspaper, referring to a unit tasked with protecting senior officials.

Another IRGC official says: “It is a humiliation for Iran and a huge security breach.”

“It’s still a question for everyone how this happened, I can’t understand it. There must be something higher in the hierarchy that no one knows about,” the official adds.

Bingo.

FR is sprinting forward to believe MSM narratives again.

This all probably didn’t happen.

Was wondering the same.

Info like this just doesn’t “get out”.

I'm a little surprised there was not a follow-up explosion to take out senior terrorists that rushed to the scene.

It’s more likely that it was Hamas insiders who hired the IRGC explosive experts. It might even have been one of those “work accidents”.

Yes, credit where credit is due to Mossad. Once again, they prove they’re the best in the business.

i just love the thought, of them using it to sow doubt through the whole IRGC while throwing them off the trail of how ever it really was done, would be the supreme irony and ultimate in tradecraft...

If true that’s surprising

If NOT true, this is genius, every IRGC that ever walked in the hotel is dead bec Iran will make sure this never is repeated.

So mossad not only takes out Hamas chief, the mullahs will have every IRGC soldier who was ever in the hotel murdered.

This is probably some disinfo to disrupt the operations of the mullahcracy, resulting in an unnecessary purge and ill feelings, paranoia, and ultimately implosion. And we get to watch.

If true, I lov
E how Mossad plants this story to scare the hell out of Iran and cause their IRGC to have to question everything and be suspicious. It’s brilliant.

“I can’t understand it. There must be something higher in the hierarchy that no one knows about”

There’s no honor among thieves. I guess the same applies to terrorists. The only summation would probably amount to simply recognizing a calculated shift in authoritative power.

They rounded up several of these guys. I wonder what kind of trial they’ll get?

THE DEAD GUY WAS THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE BERUIT MARINE BARRACKS BOMBINGS IN OCT 1083.

HE GOT 40 +++ YEARS MORE LIFE THAN THE 241 MARINES HE KILLED.

“The only time Mossad reveals information is so it is to their advantage and this is rare. This did not happen.”

True enough. But it does engage in the occasional psyops mindf**k.
