CIA tracked Iranian leaders for months ahead of attacks that began with 3 strikes in 60 seconds
The CIA provided precise location intelligence enabling a coordinated U.S.-Israeli strike that killed Khamenei and about 40 senior Iranian officials, officials said.
- Intelligence gathered over months by the CIA and shared with Israeli counterparts led to the missile strike that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials on Saturday.
- The CIA had been tracking Khamenei's location for several months before Saturday's joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, gaining deeper insight into his whereabouts as he moved around.
- The spy agency then learned about a Saturday morning meeting of senior Iranian officials at a compound in Tehran that Khamenei was expected to attend, which accelerated the timeline for the strike.
