Turkey Warned Iran of Suspected Mossad Assassination Plot Before Conflict

In a significant development ahead of recent tensions, Turkey reportedly alerted Iran to a suspected Mossad plot targeting Tehran and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) locations, according to security sources familiar with the matter.

The warning came prior to the outbreak of the current conflict, and involved intelligence pointing to plans for extensive assassinations that were allegedly to be carried out by operatives linked to Israel’s intelligence agency.

While neither Turkish nor Iranian officials have officially confirmed the details, regional intelligence channels suggest that the plot aimed to destabilize Iran’s internal security and possibly provoke retaliation ahead of broader regional escalations.

This revelation adds a new layer to the ongoing shadow conflict between Iran and Israel, and highlights the complex intelligence coordination at play in the region — even between countries with strained or cautious relationships.

Further details remain classified, and it is unclear whether any arrests or counter-measures were taken by Iranian authorities following Turkey’s warning.
