Pager operation in Iran? The four senior officials in Israel’s crosshairs

Channel 14 Israel reported that former Mossad official Oded Elem revealed in an interview with the New York Post that Israel possesses the intelligence and operational capabilities to execute a surprise move in the style of the pager explosions against the regime's leadership in Tehran. According to him, four military and security commanders including Ahmad Vahidi, Hossein Taeb, Ali Abdollahi, and Mohsen Rezaei effectively run the country, while the political leadership serves merely as a front. These remarks come as a third US aircraft carrier heads to the Middle East and assessments grow over the potential resumption of large-scale strikes against Iran following the US midterm elections. While Republican Senator Roger Marshall spoke of potential conflict shortly after the elections, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy warned against the devastating consequences of such plans.
