“Renounce the Regime or Die”: Leaked Audio Reveals Mossad Threats to Iranian Commanders After Assassinations

According to SAEDNEWS, a recently leaked audio recording—first reported by The Washington Post and later aired by Iran’s state broadcaster—has ignited a firestorm across Tehran’s security establishment. The audio purports to capture an Israeli Mossad officer delivering an ultimatum to a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC): publicly disavow the regime and flee, or face assassination along with your family.

The recording is said to have been obtained shortly after a string of high-profile assassinations targeting senior Iranian military figures, allegedly carried out by Israeli operatives. In the file, a voice—claimed to belong to a Mossad handler—coldly instructs the IRGC officer to record and release a video renouncing the Islamic Republic. Failure to comply, the voice warns, would make him “the next target.”

Iranian state television has now broadcast segments of the audio, confirming its authenticity and airing reactions from security officials who call it a “desperate psychological operation” by Israel. Reports also suggest that similar threats were made to other military personnel, pointing to what officials describe as a coordinated campaign of fear.

The leaked communication marks a new front in the shadow war between Tehran and Tel Aviv—one no longer confined to covert strikes or cyberattacks, but now bleeding into the realm of psychological warfare. The brazenness of the threats has only deepened Iran’s resolve, officials say, even as questions grow over the vulnerability of its military leadership to foreign intelligence infiltration.
