A New York Times report reveals how Israel tracked and assassinated top Iranian leaders during the June 2025 war by hacking into the phones of bodyguards and drivers. While senior officials avoided carrying devices, their security teams used phones — even posting on social media — which allowed Israeli intelligence to pinpoint targets. Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, was among the first killed when Israel struck his emergency war meeting. Iran later ordered guards to use only walkie-talkies, but lapses enabled further targeting attempts. Israeli officials admitted the plan was to “decapitate Iran’s leadership” in the opening strike before Tehran could mount a response. The 12-day conflict saw Israel hitting Iranian commanders, nuclear scientists, and missile sites, aiming to Cripple Tehran’s ability to wage war. The revelations expose Iran’s security vulnerabilities and Israel’s reliance on cyber-sabotage and surprise strikes in modern warfare.
