- Iran concerned about possible infiltration of its own
- Trust damaged by Nasrallah's assassination by Israel
- Hezbollah investigating deep Mossad infiltration
- Investigation was led by Nabil Kaouk; disrupted by his killing Nasrallah's death has left Hezbollah leaderless and shaken trust
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Hezbollah leader Syyed Hassan Nasrallah to flee Lebanon days before he was killed in an Israeli strike and is now deeply worried about Israeli infiltration of senior government ranks in Tehran, three Iranian sources said.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack on Hezbollah's booby-trapped pagers on Sept. 17, Khamenei sent a message with an envoy to beseech the Hezbollah secretary general to leave for Iran, citing intelligence reports that suggested Israel had operatives within Hezbollah and was planning to kill him, one of the sources, a senior Iranian official, told Reuters.
