The US and Israel assassinated the Iranian supreme leader on Saturday while he was “having breakfast”
Israeli intelligence hacked nearly all of Tehran’s traffic cameras to prepare the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Financial Times has reported, citing sources.
The US and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday, killing Khamenei and other senior officials.
The cameras in the Iranian capital had been hacked for years, with feeds encrypted and transmitted to Israel, the outlet wrote on Monday.
One camera, installed on the street where Khamenei’s compound was located, provided an angle allowing analysts to track the vehicles and routines of security personnel. The data was reportedly processed to build what spies call a “pattern of life” of officials and their guards.
Israel also disrupted components of mobile phone towers near the compound to block potential warnings, according to the FT.

The US reportedly had a human source in Tehran who provided confirmation.
Khamenei was having breakfast with senior aides at the time of the strike, US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Monday. They were “thinking they were safe because it was in broad daylight,” he added.
Trump framed the campaign, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, as necessary to dismantle Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Tehran has insisted the strikes were entirely unprovoked and has retaliated with missiles and drones targeting Israel and US bases across the Middle East.
