His whereabouts have been unknown since Israel's Saturday strike in Beirut that killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's presumed successor, Hashem Safieddine.
According to the report, the Islamic Republic is currently researching security breaches, with ten sources from Beirut, Baghdad, and Tehran telling the UK-based news outlet that both Qaani and his team were under isolation while under examination.
In addition, on Thursday, Israeli media, citing Sky News, reported that Qaani had suffered from a heart attack during interrogations.
| A heart attack is perfectly understandable, given the circumstances. Especially if he actually is innocent of this accusation. |
"The Iranians have serious suspicions that the Israelis have infiltrated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, especially those working in the Lebanese arena, so everyone is currently under investigation," a source told the Middle East Eye.
| *Snicker* Don’t tell him that the other spy’s name is Mohammed…or maybe Mahmoud… Ahmed? I forget, but something common like that. |
However, the report also cited a source linked to Hezbollah, who alleged unequivocally that the breach was "100 percent Iranian."
