In a stunning twist that has rocked geopolitical circles, sources have confirmed that Iranian IRGC Quds Force Commander, General Esmail Qaani, is alive and under protection in Israel—sparking a diplomatic earthquake across the Middle East.
Highly placed intelligence operatives now reveal that Gen. Qaani had secretly defected and had been working as an Israeli asset, delivering high-value intelligence that led to the targeted eliminations of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh and top Hezbollah commanders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine.
The revelation comes amid mounting speculation following a string of surgical strikes that crippled the leadership structures of both Hamas and Hezbollah in recent weeks. According to insider briefings, Qaani provided intricate operational details, meeting locations, and encrypted communication patterns that helped Israeli forces track and eliminate the region’s most elusive militant leaders.
Security analysts describe the defection as “a historic intelligence coup” with ramifications that could reshape alliances and deepen rifts within Iran’s ruling elite. The IRGC is reportedly in disarray, with senior commanders now under investigation and widespread purges feared within its ranks.
This bombshell development follows weeks of silence regarding Qaani’s whereabouts after reports of a failed strike in Damascus. Iranian state media maintained he was “actively coordinating operations,” but offered no visual proof or location data—fueling rumors of betrayal from within.
As Tehran reels from the internal blow and regional actors reassess their security postures, questions abound: How long had Qaani been cooperating with Israeli intelligence? What motivated one of Iran’s most powerful military figures to turn? And what’s next for the already volatile Middle East power dynamic?
Neither the Israeli government nor the Iranian regime has issued an official statement as of press time, but the reverberations of this revelation are already shaking capitals from Riyadh to Washington.
This is a developing story.
