The Mossad advised Iranian citizens to distance themselves from members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to keep themselves safe in a post on X/Twitter on Friday afternoon from its new account in Farsi.
The post provided a list of guidelines, advising Iranians to avoid high-ranking IRGC officials, IRGC bases, especially if they hear a sound from the sky similar to a lawnmower, and vehicles belonging to the regime.
The Israeli spy agency also told residents that if an IRGC affiliate "suddenly receives a phone call or message on their personal phone," they should move away from them immediately.
This message recalls the Mossad beeper operation in Lebanon against Hezbollah terrorists in September 2024 when the agency activated explosive pagers, wounding thousands and killing scores of people.
Mossad: 'Our war is against Islamic Republic'
"You should know that we will do everything in our power to ensure you are not harmed. Our war is with the oppressive regime of the Islamic Republic," the spy agency said.
"Remain vigilant. The leaders are hiding in tunnels and protecting themselves — you are the ones at risk. Please follow these guidelines; they save lives."
The Israeli spy agency announced on Thursday it had established a medical center in Iran for affected citizens that will run from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and can be reached via WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal apps.
The doctors involved in the initiative are bilingual in Persian and English, and work in a variety of fields that include diabetes and infectious diseases, among others.
The spy agency recommended that Iranians reach out for assistance via VPN.
Mossad Chief David Barnea on Wednesday said in an address to agents that the spy agency’s achievements against Iran were “unimaginable,” with public details indicating they were involved in assassinating top Iranian military chiefs and nuclear scientists and blowing up nuclear facilities, drone facilities, and ballistic missile facilities.
