Israeli intelligence operations in Tehran leveraged traffic cameras and an advanced AI system to track and target Iranian officials. The cameras, hacked years ago, provided real-time data to map the city, analyze movement patterns, and build a detailed surveillance network. This system, described as an "AI-powered target production machine," integrated visual, human, signals, and satellite intelligence to generate precise 14-digit grid coordinates for strike planning. The system, developed over a decade, required a team of technologists, data analysts, and engineers to validate targets and refine processes. It enabled Israel to penetrate Iran’s inner circles, leading to the assassination of numerous nuclear scientists, officials, and Hamas’ political leader in Tehran. During the 12-day war with Iran in June, Israel used similar capabilities to kill Iran’s top military officer, the head of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and a close aide to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In a recent joint strike with the U.S., the system was again deployed to target Khamenei, whom Israeli officials believed was less vulnerable during daylight hours. The operation, codenamed "Operation Epic Fury," was authorized by U.S. President Donald Trump after Israel presented intelligence on Iran’s military capabilities. The strike reportedly combined Israeli precision with American intelligence to locate Khamenei’s compound. Iran’s state broadcaster confirmed Khamenei’s death early Sunday, marking a significant blow to the country’s leadership. The strike followed failed nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissing the talks as doomed.#donald_trump #tehran #operation_epic_fury #israeli_intelligence #iranian_officials
