Mossad and the CIA monitored Larijani from March 13, eventually planning an attack against him after locating him meeting with Iranian Basij commander Gholam Raza Soleimani.
Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, and the CIA, the American intelligence agency, began surveillance on Larijani starting March 13. This marked the beginning of an operation that sought to track his movements closely. It was during this surveillance that they determined his location while he was in a meeting with Gholam Raza Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Basij force.
Once the intelligence agencies identified this crucial meeting, they devised a plan to eliminate Larijani. This collaboration between the two agencies highlights not only their shared interests concerning Iranian military figures but also the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The targeting of Larijani suggests a strategic focus on disrupting Iranian military leadership and operations.
This incident underscores the intricate web of international espionage and covert operations that characterize the relations in the region. It raises questions regarding sovereignty and the implications of foreign powers performing such operations on Iranian soil, potentially escalating conflicts in an already volatile landscape.
