A chilling tweet from the Mossad’s official Persian-language account has stirred alarm, claiming that the Iranian regime is planning a terror attack during the Arbaeen pilgrimage next weekend—against its own citizens.
According to the tweet, the Islamic Republic intends to target Iranian Shiite pilgrims marching in Iraq, aiming to kill dozens and pin the blame on Israel.
Arbaeen, which this year falls on Friday, August 15, is one of the holiest days for Shiite Muslims, marking 40 days after Ashura.
Millions of pilgrims are expected to make the journey to Karbala, Iraq. If the Mossad's claim proves true, it suggests a shocking level of brutality by the Iranian regime—allegedly sacrificing its own people to justify retaliation against Israel.
