Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reportedly told Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah there was an imminent plot to kill him and warned him to flee days before an Israel effectively carried out his assassination through an airstrike in Beirut.
According to Reuters, the warning took place right after the operation where thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives exploded at the same time. Then, Khamenei sent a message through an envoy urging Nasrallah to flee for Iran, citing intelligence suggesting Israel had deeply infiltrated Hezbollah and has planning to kill him.
