Top Iranian commander reportedly disappears in Beirut amid rumors he may have betrayed his country and collaborated with Israel
10/15/2024 // Richard Brown // Views

The mysterious disappearance of Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, Iran's top military commander and leader of the powerful Quds Force, has sparked widespread speculation that he may have betrayed his country by collaborating with Israel.

Qaani, 67, took control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) elite unit after former leader Qassem Soleimani was assassinated by a drone strike ordered by the United States in early 2020. He has not been heard from since an airstrike on Oct. 4 targeted a bunker in Beirut where he was said to be meeting with Hezbollah top leaders, including the projected next leader Hashem Safieddine.

Initially, Qaani was presumed to have perished in the attack, but new reports have surfaced suggesting that he was not at the meeting, raising suspicions about his role in recent Israeli operations.

Sources from Lebanon, Iraq and Iran have claimed that Qaani had avoided the bunker blast, as well as another deadly airstrike a week earlier that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

His repeated absences from such high-level meetings have stoked rumors that he may have turned against the Iranian regime and is now under house arrest, facing interrogation by Iranian authorities. These suspicions are further fueled by the fact that Qaani has not been seen or heard from, even by his family, since the strike.

Adding to the intrigue is Israel's stunning success in recent months at eliminating top commanders in the region, including Hezbollah and Iranian military officials, through precision airstrikes and intelligence-led operations.

Israel’s use of advanced technology, including pager and walkie-talkie bombs, has enabled them to target key figures with remarkable accuracy. Many within the IRGC believe that these operations have been facilitated by a high-level mole, and Qaani's unexplained absence has made him a prime suspect.

Iran claims Qaani being held for interrogation

Reports coming out of Iran claim that Qaani is currently being held under lockdown as investigators from the IRGC and Iranian intelligence services probe his involvement. If these rumors are true, Qaani would be the highest-ranking Iranian official ever accused of espionage for Israel, a move that could have far-reaching implications for Iran’s military and its relationship with Hezbollah.

Qaani was responsible for overseeing Iran's overseas military operations, particularly in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. Under his leadership, the Quds Force has continued its efforts to support Hezbollah and other militant groups in their fight against Israel and Western forces.

However, his sudden disappearance has raised questions about whether he has been working for Israel all along, undermining Iran's military operations from within.

The speculation surrounding Qaani has created a wave of panic within Iran's military, with many fearing that Israeli intelligence has infiltrated the highest levels of the IRGC.

Some sources have even suggested that Qaani may have played a role in Nasrallah's assassination, which immediately led to a frantic search for an Israeli mole within Hezbollah who could have helped direct Israeli planes to Nasrallah's bunker. Iranian investigators are now focusing on Qaani's movements in the days leading up to the strike.
