If this doesn't disappear behind a paywall, this is extraordinary reporting of the intelligence and military operation that killed Khamenei - years in the making - which included hacking about 50% of Tehran's traffic cameras.

The capabilities were part of a years-long intelligence campaign that helped pave the way for the ayatollah’s assassination. This source of real-time data — one of hundreds of different streams of intelligence — was not the only way Israel and the CIA were able to determine exactly what time 86-year-old Khamenei would be in his offices this fateful Saturday morning and who would be joining him.

Nor was the fact that Israel was also able to disrupt single components of roughly a dozen or so mobile phone towers near Pasteur Street, making the phones seem as if they were busy when called and stopping Khamenei’s protection detail from receiving possible warnings.

Long before the bombs fell, “we knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem”, said one current Israeli intelligence official. “And when you know [a place] as well as you know the street you grew up on, you notice a single thing that’s out of place.”

Starmer’s caution to stay within international law and learn lessons from Iraq means he getting it from both sides, Tories and Refuk for not giving full support to US, and then the left and Lib Dems for getting involved and not standing up to Trump.

He must be doing something right.
