Iran’s Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani under suspicion as Israeli spy, reportedly missing
Tehran: Iran’s Quds Force commander, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, has reportedly disappeared after his recent visit to Lebanon, sparking allegations that he may be a Mossad agent.
Qaani, who travelled to Lebanon following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike, has not been seen or heard from since. Sources cited by The Sun claim that Qaani is currently under house arrest and is being interrogated on suspicions of espionage for Israel.
Officials indicate that Qaani was in Beirut’s southern suburbs, Dahiyeh, during a strike aimed at senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine, although he was not meeting Safieddine at the time.
Esmail Qaani assumed leadership of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani in 2020. His role involves managing Tehran's paramilitary allies across the Middle East and globally.
However, his influence has not reached the same levels as his predecessor, and Iranian proxies such as Hezbollah have faced mounting pressure, particularly from Israeli forces, under his command.
