Israel hacked Tehran’s traffic camera network to track Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a Financial Times report. Sources said Israeli intelligence accessed the system years ago. The cameras helped monitor Khamenei’s bodyguards, their cars, and daily routines. The report claimed Israel used AI tools to study large amounts of data. This helped track Khamenei to a meeting where he was killed during missile strikes by the US and Israel. Cellular service in the area was also disrupted. The CIA reportedly had a human source who shared key intelligence. Iran has not officially responded to the claims. (PC: AFP)
