Israeli intelligence operatives warned several senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards generals that they had only a few hours to abandon Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and flee with their families — or be killed — according to three sources familiar with the operation who spoke to the Washington Post.
The June 13 call, made just hours after Israeli strikes began killing key Iranian personnel, was part of a covert intimidation campaign targeting more than 20 officials, the report said.
“You’re on our list right now,” an Israeli caller told one general, adding that Israel was “closer to you than your own neck vein.”
“I advise you now: you have 12 hours to escape with your wife or child,” said a voice in the recording, ordering the IRGC commander to record a video renouncing the Islamic Republic.
