How Israel lured Ayatollah to his doom… then blew him up with a missile from space

Israeli generals lulled Iran into a false sense of security in the hours leading up to Ali Khamenei’s assassination by leaving their headquarters for fake Shabbat celebrations before sneaking back in disguise, the IDF has revealed.

The new information explains how the Ayatollah felt safe enough to emerge from hiding for a meeting at his palace with top officials.

Israeli fighters then launched a barrage of 30 missiles, including state-of-the-art Blue Sparrows which travel to the edge of space before hitting their targets.

The aim of the operation was to take the Iranian despot by surprise, to ensure that he and other top officials had no time to react and escape.

But the entire operation was only made possible by the Israeli leadership’s deception.

Concerned that a buildup of activity around the IDF’s central military complex in Tel Aviv would indicate to Iran that a major operation was imminent, a plan of deception was executed.

The military said: ‘On the Friday of the attack, the IDF deliberately gave the impression that the military was shutting down for the weekend.

‘We released photos and information suggesting that IDF personnel and top leadership were going home for Shabbat dinner.’
