Pager operation in Iran? The four senior officials in Israel's crosshairs

Former Mossad senior official Oded Eilam revealed in the New York Post that Israel could carry out a surprise operation against the four military and security commanders who effectively rule Iran, similar to the pager attack on Hezbollah. A third American aircraft carrier is en route to the region, amid assessments of a broad strike after the US midterm elections.

Former Mossad senior official Oded Eilam revealed in an interview with the New York Post that Israel possesses intelligence and operational capabilities to execute a surprise move in the style of the pager attack against the regime's top echelon in Tehran. According to him, four military and security commanders effectively control the country while the political leadership serves merely as a front. These remarks come as a third American aircraft carrier makes its way to the region, amid assessments that a broad strike against Tehran will be launched immediately after the US midterm elections. Eilam mentioned the operation involving the detonation of communication devices and pagers carried out against Hezbollah in September 2024, saying that 'Israel has cards up its sleeve that will be used.' The article details the four senior officials: Ahmad Vahidi, Hossein Taeb, Ali Abdollahi, and Mohsen Rezaei, and claims they are behind the violent suppression of protests in Iran. Meanwhile, sources in Washington warn of a desperate Iranian response.
