Israel’s spy agency has launched a protected Telegram account in Farsi to connect directly with Iranian citizens. The step aligns with Operation Shield of Judah, under which Israeli forces have carried out strikes in Tehran and several other urban centres. Mossad called on members of the public to provide material showing opposition to Iran’s leadership, while stressing the importance of personal safety. Separately, reports state that Khamenei was transferred to a secure site after widespread blasts in the capital.
