As the attacks have broken out into a wider conflagration that threatens to engulf the entirety of West Asia, theories are flying thick and fast about how Israel tracked Khamenei. From dental implants to a spy inside the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), high-tech surveillance and the hacking of prayer apps.
One of the theories going around is that Israel somehow managed to plant a tracking device or multiple tracking devices in dental implants. According to posts on social media, Israel’s spy agency Mossad posed as doctors and dentists and planted these inside the mouths of Khamenei and other top Iranian officials.
"Over the past few years, Mossad undercover agents infiltrated Iran as doctors and dentists. The dentists gave priority to key military and elite Iranian personnel. While doing a routine dental check-up, they implanted tracking devices as fillings for cavities," one user claimed.
Other users claimed that gastroenterologists similarly inserted tracking microchips during medical procedures on Khamenei and top political and religious elites of Iran. However, experts have poured cold water on this theory, saying doing so for a long period of time without being discovered would be extremely unlikely.
Another theory has claimed that Mossad managed to infiltrate Iran’s powerful IRGC. Posts have claimed that Esmaeil Qaani, commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC, was working as a covert informant for Mossad and even the CIA. If true, this could mean that Iran has suffered a massive breach in its security apparatus.

隨著攻擊行動擴大為可能波及整個西亞地區的更大衝突,各界迅速湧現各種理論,試圖解釋以色列究竟是如何追蹤到哈米尼的行蹤,說法從牙科植體、伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊內部間諜,到高科技監控與駭入祈禱應用程式等。
其中一種流傳甚廣的說法認為,以色列設法在牙科植體中植入追蹤裝置。社群媒體上的貼文聲稱,以色列情報機構摩薩德幹員假扮醫師與牙醫,將追蹤裝置植入哈米尼及其他伊朗高層官員的口腔中。
有網友宣稱:「過去幾年,摩薩德的臥底特務,以醫師與牙醫身分潛入伊朗,牙醫優先為伊朗關鍵軍事人員與精英人士服務。在例行牙科檢查時,他們將追蹤裝置當作補牙材料植入。」
還有說法稱,腸胃科醫師也可能在為哈米尼及伊朗政治與宗教高層進行醫療處置時,植入微型晶片。不過,專家普遍對此說法抱持懷疑態度,認為長期未被發現,幾乎不可能。
另一種理論指出,摩薩德已成功滲透伊朗最具權勢的武裝力量—伊斯蘭革命衛隊。部分網路貼文甚至聲稱,革命衛隊「聖城旅」指揮官卡尼,是為摩薩德甚至美國中央情報局提供情報的祕密線人。若此消息屬實,意味伊朗安全體系出現重大破口。
