South Korean media: Israel's Mossad: "We know everything about you and your family," called to intimidate Iranian military and police officials
¬ The official who received the call pleaded: "Brother, I'm not an enemy, please help me"
It is reported that the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has been calling individual Iranian military and police officials to threaten them, conducting a psychological warfare campaign to weaken morale. In order to undermine the control of the Iranian regime, Israel is systematically targeting frontline officials.
On the 18th, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) released a recording of a phone call, in which a senior Mossad official directly called a high-ranking officer of the Iranian Police Commander and said, "We know everything about you. You are on the blacklist," "If you don't stand with the people, your fate will be the same as your leader." In other words, if he continues to be loyal to the Iranian regime, he will be decapitated like Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei who was killed on February 28th during the first day of the air strike. According to reports, the Iranian official who received the call pleaded, "Brother, I swear by the Quran, I am not an enemy, I am already doomed," "Please help me."
According to WSJ reports, not only Iranian police, but Mossad also called several officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's security forces and Basij militia organizations, threatening them by revealing personal information such as their family names and addresses. Mossad warned that if there were uprisings against the regime, they must participate, at least they should resign. Since the beginning of the air strikes, Israel and the United States have openly stated that the purpose of this war is to create conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow the regime.
According to analysis by The Times of Israel, the purpose of psychological warfare is to weaken the morale of Iranian security personnel and disintegrate the organization so that it cannot actively suppress popular uprisings. Further inciting discontented forces to rise up, paving the way for the fall of the Iranian regime.
According to The Times of Israel, the aforementioned psychological warfare is considered to be the strict fulfillment of roles by the United States and Israel. The United States is responsible for striking Iran's military power and industrial strength, while Israel is responsible for undermining the internal ruling structure of Iran. According to The Daily Telegraph, the discipline and morale of Iranian field troops are approaching a "disaster edge." Only 20 bullets are issued to every 2 soldiers, and there is a shortage of water and food, not to mention the psychological warfare attacks, resulting in continuous desertions. After multiple military facilities in Iran were destroyed by air strikes, frontline military and police officers can only solve accommodation and meals in vehicles, gyms, etc. They have to beg civilians for "a night's stay" to avoid being pursued by Israeli aircraft and drones.
