An Iranian general who worked for Mossad, allowed to commit suicide

Suspected of working for Mossad Iranian General Ismail Kaani was allowed to commit suicide, according to military blogger Sergei Kolyasnikov.

EADaily reported that the commander of the IRGC Quds Force, Ismail Kaani, was detained the day before on suspicion of spying for Israel.

"An IRGC general named Kaani was executed in Iran. He is called the highest-ranking Mossad agent who managed to lead Al-Quds, one of the most combat-ready units of the IRGC after the assassination of Kassem Soleimani in 2020. September 2024: Kaani leaves Hezbollah's secret council in Beirut ahead of schedule. A few minutes later, the bunker is destroyed along with Hassan Nasrallah and other commanders. June 2025: Kaani urgently leaves the IRGC headquarters. Immediately after that, Israel's pinpoint strike is inflicted on the office, many dead. 2026: Escaped from the Ayatollah's residence shortly before the strike," writes Kolyasnikov.

"This creature was not executed," he added, but allowed to commit suicide.

The director of the Historical Memory Foundation, Alexander Dyukov, recalled the case of Colonel Redl in this regard. A high-ranking employee of the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff of Austria-Hungary was suspected of working for the Russians and, according to the official version, after a short interrogation and admission of guilt, was allowed to commit suicide.

"And it would seem that the traitor got what he deserved. But Russian intelligence contacted an unknown agent from the Austro-Hungarian General Staff a year after Redl's death. Whether there were two Russian agents in the General Staff or one, and Redl was used as a scapegoat, no one knows," the historian writes.
