Israel has launched a campaign of intimidation against Iranian officials, warning them to flee within 12 hours or face elimination.

After an Israeli attack on Iran, Mossad contacted senior Iranian military officials, threatening them with 12 hours to flee with their families. In a recording obtained by the 'Washington Post', an Israeli agent tells them that they are on the target list and offers them one last chance to disavow the Iranian regime. In the aftermath of the attack, Israel eliminated several high-ranking Iranian officials, sowing confusion among leaders in Tehran.
