London, United Kingdom – Web Desk The Financial Times has reported that Israeli intelligence allegedly hacked traffic camera systems in Tehran as part of an operation to gather information on movements linked to Iran’s leadership, including the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
According to the report, multiple surveillance cameras were compromised and video footage was secretly transmitted to Tel Aviv intelligence networks for several years. The alleged operation enabled access to traffic patterns and security movements around key locations, including routes used by security convoys and officials.
The Financial Times cited claims that intelligence agencies monitored activity on Pastur Street, observing the movements of guards and vehicles. Surveillance footage was reportedly used to identify routines and parking arrangements in proximity to sensitive compounds.
Israel has not officially commented on the allegations, and Iranian authorities have yet to respond publicly. The report highlights growing concerns over cyber operations and intelligence warfare amid escalating regional tensions.
Cybersecurity experts note that the use of digital surveillance tools in intelligence operations reflects evolving strategies in modern conflict, raising questions about privacy and state security.
