—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 EXCLUSIVE: Two hours before the start of the 12-day war, Iran had obtained clear intelligence pointing towards an imminent Israeli attack — despite believing that an attack was unlikely, due to ongoing nuclear negotiations with the U.S.
However, Iran's high command had assessed that the Israeli strike would likely focus on nuclear sites, and that it would not include widespread strikes on military / civilian targets in Tehran and throughout the country.
A comprehensive response to an attack on Iran's nuclear sites had been prepared and planned for several months, but the scale of the Israeli attack left the military leadership confused and paralyzed, especially following the rapid assassination of Brigadier General Salami and Brigadier General Bagheri and the Israeli strike on Iran's General Command HQ.
In the first critical 24 hours, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei made various important decisions, including quickly appointing new generals through executive orders, as well as motivating the political echelon. This rapid action by the Leader changed the course and outcome of the war.
