Iran's Heightened Paranoia and Infiltration Fears
The Iranian regime is currently experiencing a state of panic and mistrust primarily due to the recent elimination of key Hezbollah leaders by Israeli forces. Following the assassination of high-ranking figures, including Hassan Nasrallah, concerns have escalated about potential Israeli infiltration within Iran's political and military circles. Reports indicate that Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had attempted to warn Nasrallah to seek refuge in Iran, fearing infiltration by Mossad operatives, a plea that ultimately went unheeded. This disturbing trend is weakening the relationship between Iran and its proxies, as confidence erodes amidst suspicions of espionage within their ranks.
