Iran has built the most comprehensive civilian surveillance network in the Middle East. Every street is equipped with cameras. University campuses are equipped with facial recognition systems. License plate recognition devices automatically fine women who remove their headscarves in their vehicles. A mobile application called "Nazer" allows citizens to report women not wearing headscarves. Drones are also deployed on beaches. It was this infrastructure that led to the killing of Masha Amini in September 2022 and the subsequent crackdown on the Women, Life, Freedom movement. Israel has hacked almost all of these systems. According to the Financial Times, citing two sources familiar with the matter, almost all of Tehran's traffic cameras have been hacked for years. The footage is encrypted and transmitted to servers located in Tel Aviv and southern Israel. One camera near Pasteur Street is particularly important. Its angle was carefully designed so that Israeli analysts could see where Khamenei's security personnel parked their private cars. Through this single camera angle, Israeli intelligence built files on these bodyguards' home addresses, work schedules, commuting routes, and the high-ranking officials they were responsible for protecting. Unit 8200 used algorithms to process billions of data points, transforming them into what intelligence officials called "life patterns." One person familiar with the process described it as "an assembly line with only one final product: a target." "We know Tehran like we know Jerusalem," an Israeli intelligence official told the Financial Times. "When you know a place as well as you know the streets you grew up on, you notice anything unusual." The operation entered its final phase on February 28 after intelligence confirmed that Khamenei would be attending a morning meeting at his residence near Pasteur Street. Israel destroyed about 12 mobile communication antennas in the area, causing phones to go busy. Khamenei's security personnel received no warning. Israeli warplanes launched 30 precision-guided bombs. The attack was carried out during the day to maximize surprise. Former Mossad official Sima Shain told the Financial Times that Israel's strategic focus on Iran dates back to a 2001 directive from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Twenty-five years of patient intelligence gathering finally culminated on a Saturday morning. Here's what you should remember. The cameras Israel infiltrated weren't military installations, but rather part of the Iranian regime's domestic surveillance system. These cameras tracked women who removed their headscarves. This system sent automated text messages to women in Isfahan, accusing them of "inappropriate headscarf wearing." This infrastructure was used by "guided patrols" to create digital profiles of Iranian women and girls simply because they showed their hair. Israel turned the tools of its morality police into tools for destroying the Iranian regime. A claim circulating online states that after the assassination, Mossad deleted information about Iranian women from the Iranian morality police database.
