Mossad suspects Mughitaba is hiding underground in Tehran or Qom
According to the UK's The Times, top intelligence agencies of the US and Israel—CIA and Mossad—have employed various methods to track and search for Mughitaba, but ultimately have achieved almost nothing, with no tangible results. The primary reason is that Mughitaba is hidden too deeply; he rarely uses electronic devices such as mobile phones, which renders the technological capabilities of the US and Israel completely ineffective. Now, they can only rely on traditional human intelligence methods for tracking and searching.
Meanwhile, during recent talks between Netanyahu and Trump, Israeli officials firmly stated that "Mughitaba is definitely still alive," although there is currently no specific intelligence regarding his whereabouts.
Given the extremely high difficulty of tracking Mughitaba, both the CIA and Mossad have now elevated the pursuit of Mughitaba to their highest priority. However, since traditional human intelligence operations are required, and Iran is so vast, where should the US and Israel begin?
The Times reports: Israeli sources are highly confident that Mughitaba enjoys an exceptionally high level of security and confidentiality, and he remains mostly underground, rarely appearing above ground to avoid detection by American reconnaissance satellites and Israeli spies. In light of this, the search should start from several key underground facilities within Iran.
It is reported that Mossad suspects Mughitaba’s hideout is likely near underground tunnels in Tehran or military bunkers in Qom—the Shia holy city—both of which have deep historical ties to Mughitaba. Israel has now begun conducting searches and investigations in these areas.
