Since a joint US-Israeli airstrike killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 28 February, intelligence officials say hacked surveillance cameras helped plan the attack. Two sources told the Associated Press that Iranian security feeds were used to track convoys and locations, showing how ordinary cameras can become dangerous tools in modern conflicts.
The news came after several senior Iranian officials were killed in the weeks following Khamenei's death. These cameras weren't special military gadgets—they were everyday CCTV and traffic cameras.
