New revelations expose how a senior Iranian cyber officer spied for the US and Israel before his brutal death.
Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth revealed new details on Thursday about Mohammad Hossein Tajik, once one of Iran’s most prominent cyber officers and a former “commander of Iran’s cyber army.”
According to the report, Tajik secretly worked as a spy for the United States and cooperated with Israel before being killed under horrific circumstances in 2016 — reportedly by his own father, a man closely tied to the Iranian regime.
Leaked information indicates that Tajik played a key role in the assassination of senior Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh during a joint Washington–Tel Aviv operation in Damascus in 2008. He is also said to have helped expose Iran’s secret Fordow nuclear facility, one of the most sensitive elements of Tehran’s nuclear program.
