"Shadows Over Tehran": FT Details the Decade-Long Intelligence War Leading to Khamenei’s Assassination

The Financial Times reported that the assassination of Ali Khamenei resulted from a surgical intelligence campaign. For years, Israel hacked Tehran's traffic cameras, sending encrypted feeds to servers in Israel to build a "pattern of life" profile for Khamenei's inner circle. This allowed Unit 8200 to monitor guard shifts and parking habits within the high-security Pasteur Street complex.

A Daylight Strike Guided by Human Intel:

While Israel focused on signal intelligence, a crucial "human source" confirmed Khamenei’s presence in his office on the morning of the strike. Israel jammed local mobile networks to isolate the security team before launching precision "Sparrow" missiles. These missiles, fired from 1,000 km away, are capable of hitting a target as small as a "dining table," ensuring the total elimination of the high-value target in broad daylight.
