Former Israeli General Warns Iran Could Activate Sleeper Cells in the West After Khamenei’s Death

Tehran / Jerusalem / Washington – A former senior Israeli intelligence official has warned that Iran may activate sleeper cells across Western countries following the reported death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Brig. Gen. (Res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of the Research Division at the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Intelligence Corps, said pro-regime “dormant cells” could be mobilized to carry out attacks aimed at destabilizing the United States and its allies.

Iran Sleeper Cells “May Be Activated”

Kuperwasser stated that the Iranian regime has long maintained networks of supporters abroad.

“The regime has dormant cells that could try to carry out terror attacks,” he said.
“These cells are around the globe for such an eventuality, and they are probably working to wake them up now.”

According to him, potential retaliatory actions would be designed to impose costs on those seen as responsible for Khamenei’s death and to create instability in Western nations.....
