    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.

    I took this from RT as I haven't and don't want to subscribe to FT or any other website for news 😅 Anyway, here it goes. Remember RT is biased toward Iran while FT is biased toward Israel and the US.

    It's rather the power of money. Give a few millions of dollars or pounds, and citizenship of US, you can convert the most patriotic poor man into a spy, or even an assassin. :)
