Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Hezbollah leader Syyed Hassan Nasrallah to flee Lebanon days before he was killed in an Israeli strike and is now deeply worried about Israeli infiltration of senior government ranks in Tehran, three Iranian sources said.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack on Hezbollah’s booby-trapped pagers on Sept. 17, Khamenei sent a message with an envoy to beseech the Hezbollah secretary general to leave for Iran, citing intelligence reports that suggested Israel had operatives within Hezbollah and was planning to kill him, one of the sources, a senior Iranian official, told Reuters.

The messenger, the official said, was a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander, Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, who was with Nasrallah in his bunker when it was hit by Israeli bombs and was also killed.

    Do you think Rhodesian citizens deserved to sleep peacefully?

    Also, how is dropping 85 2000lb bombs on 6 apartment blocks to kill 1 person not terrorism?

    How is a mass indiscriminate bombing campaign using every day items that would have been envied by the Unabomber not terrorism?

    EDIT: It’s also been leaked by Israel that they assassinated Nasrallah cause he wouldn’t decouple a ceasefire deal with Lebanon with a ceasefire deal with Gaza.
