An Israeli security source reported, “There is no presence of Mojtaba Khamenei in Iran.”
The source added that “messages from Iranian Leader Mojtaba Khamenei are written by Ahmed Vahidi and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,” pointing out that “Iran’s internal disputes are deep and threaten the existence of the Revolutionary Guard.”
The same source also indicated that “Washington does not want Tel Aviv to participate in the operations, even if Iran bombs it,” and continued: “Iran planned to assassinate Israeli figures in Tel Aviv in retaliation for the killing of former guide Ali Khamenei.”
