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.
IDK what you mean by “actual terrorist” or “proxy”. Would it include an organization labeled “terrorist” by the U.S. And the U.K.? Maybe people who planted bombs in the King David hotel? Maybe it would be working hand in glove with a criminal regime to terrorize innocent people? OK because what I just described is an organization called Irgun led by a fellow called Menachem Begin, or the 6th prime minister of Israel. (he was in charge when Israel invaded Lebanon if that helps narrow it down.)
This isn’t a whataboutism, but a refutation to the single-digit fallacy that the terrorists are only on one side.
