Israel Used Secret AI Platform to Hunt Iranian Leaders
AP review says hacked Tehran cameras and AI helped Israel identify Iranian leaders faster, with analysts able to scan feeds in real time.
- On February 28, 2026, Israel tracked Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei using Tehran's street cameras, demonstrating how surveillance systems become weapons in wartime.
- Tehran's camera network faced repeated compromises since 2021, prompting warnings from Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy chairman of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, that "everything on the internet is in their hands."

- During a 12-day war last summer, Israel used the footage to bomb a meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, injuring Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to Iranian lawmakers and an Israeli documentary.
- Security expert Healy observed that infrastructure authoritarian states build to secure their rule "may be what makes their leaders most visible to the people trying to kill them." Over one billion cameras now exist worldwide.
