A news article published in March 2026 claims that recent high-profile assassinations of Iranian and Hezbollah leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in February 2026, were not solely the work of Israeli intelligence. Military analysts suggest that these strikes, which also targeted IRGC leadership in 2025 and Hezbollah in 2024, relied heavily on US intelligence and technology, including CIA surveillance and US military hardware. The article asserts that the CIA provided crucial real-time intelligence, target information, and confirmed Khamenei's location, while US drones and missiles were used in the attacks. The report suggests that Israel's dependence on the US and internal security failures within Iran are key factors in these operations.
