Overview

  • The premium Farsi X account, which claims to be Mossad’s Persian spokesperson, continues to post allegations of Khamenei’s drug use and daily drowsiness to undermine his leadership credibility.
  • On July 25 it revealed the identity of Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi as the new Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters commander ahead of state media.
  • Its profile now advises Iranian users to communicate via VPN for security, signalling an effort to build a protected channel with disaffected citizens.
  • Although Mossad has neither confirmed nor denied its link to the account, analysts such as Beny Sabti and Zvi Yehezkeli assert that the intelligence shared suggests authenticity.
  • Posts have also highlighted chronic shortages of water, electricity and education to amplify public frustration with Iran’s ruling establishment.
