It’s remarkable how incompetent Iranian security system has been. This has been going on for over a decade. They just can’t fix their intelligence failures.

Who on earth uses consumer phones at this level (which was the case among their elites till last year)?

Why do they walk in streets and reside in residential buildings now, and all gather in single locations?

One needs to be qiite naive to believe any of the reports which come from US and Israel on their assassinations.

They are lying to you. About the assassinations. About the causes of war, about "nuclear threat" (there is a threat, but it is a long term threat, which is why what Israel does aims to break the spirit of the neighbouring nations, killing heads of the military, then just politicians, then journalists, then..).

There are indeed many, many lies, but the Iranian government confirmed these deaths. The BBC is a reasonably reliable source, and if they didn't have confirmation, they'd have written the headline as "Israel claims..."

It's not really much in their interest to lie about killing military leaders, precisely because their goal is to break the spirit. If the guy popped up the next day and said "Nuh uh!" it would be counterproductive to their goal.

For the rest, yes, it's rife with lies. The fact that they are actually killing people does not make this more moral. I'd rather they were lying about that, too.

I didn't mean the assassinations did not happen, I meant the stories which those who started the war tell about these assassinations.
