The Iranian General Who Always Survives… Is He Mossad’s Ultimate Plant?
10th March 2026
The fate of one of Iran’s most powerful military figures remains unknown after he became the focus of rumours that he was an Israeli spy.
Gen Esmail Qaani, a brigadier general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), is said to have aroused suspicion after emerging unscathed from the air strike at the start of the war that killed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s former supreme leader, as well as numerous top aides.
Speculation is rife in the Middle East that he is under house arrest or has been executed.
