Israel Phoned Senior Iranian Officials with Warnings
(Washington Post) Warren P. Strobel - After Israel launched its first wave of strikes against Iran on June 13, killing top military leaders and nuclear scientists, Persian-speaking Israeli intelligence operatives phoned senior Iranian officials on their cellphones and warned them that they, too, would die unless they ceased supporting the regime. "I can advise you now, you have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you're on our list right now," an Israeli intelligence operative told a senior Iranian general, according to an audio recording. An Israeli official said some senior Iranian figures received a warning letter under their door, some received a phone call directly, and others were contacted via their spouses. "They fully understand that they are transparent and known to us and that our intelligence penetration is 100%."
