In the opening strike of the war with Iran, Gholam Ali Rashid, head of the Iranian emergency military command (Khatam al-Anbiya), was killed. Three days later, his replacement, Ali Shadmani, was also assassinated. In an effort to prevent the assassination of a successor to the successor, Iran decided not to reveal the name of the new commander. But Mossad Farsi (Persian) had other plans.

This mysterious social media account, recently identified as an official channel for messages from Israel's Mossad in the Persian language, published another intriguing post on the X social media platform Tuesday. This time, it called on followers to guess who they thought is now heading Khatam al-Anbiya.

In the post, Mossad Farsi wrote: “The Tasnim news agency announced that the Iranian regime will not publish the name of the new commander of Khatam al-Anbiya in order to protect him. Know that we know his actual name and are well acquainted with him. Unfortunately, such basic information is being hidden from the Iranian people. Please send us your guesses regarding his name.”
