On Sunday evening, the Mossad posted a message on its official X account, taking aim at several high-ranking Iranian officials: IRGC Commander Mohammad Pakpour, Iran’s military chief Abdolrahim Mousavi, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
The Israeli intelligence agency wrote that it “conducted a thorough review of the page’s followers and was not surprised to find that the honorable gentlemen Pakpour, Mousavi, and Araghchi are among our most loyal viewers.”
The post also pointed out that these officials make efforts to conceal their activity. “Of course, they use their ‘secondary’ phones, and two of them even utilize private internet connections.”
The message continued with a tongue-in-cheek remark: “As a token of appreciation, we are also following them.”
Speaking directly to Iranian citizens, the Mossad advised them that they’re welcome to keep reading the updates but warned against engaging with the page publicly. “We will continue to provide important news updates,” the post continued.
Pakpour and Mousavi were appointed to their current posts only recently, following the deaths of their predecessors in Israeli airstrikes.
Mossad has played a significant role in Israel’s recent conflict with Iran, not only by gathering intelligence but also by launching offensive operations. Israeli drones reportedly took off from covert Mossad-operated launch sites inside Iran as part of the IDF’s initial assault.
This deep infiltration has shaken the Iranian leadership. Reports from both local and international sources indicate that the regime has begun a massive internal crackdown, targeting civilians suspected of cooperating with foreign intelligence agencies.
According to Fars News, a media outlet affiliated with the IRGC, more than 700 people have been detained over the past 12 days in connection with espionage accusations. The suspects are believed to have links with Mossad, the CIA, and MI6.
