The bustling city of Tehran sprawls below, unaware of the storm brewing. A MAP OF TEHRAN highlights the central leadership compound in the heart of the city, where Iran's Supreme Leader holds court.
In the tense geopolitical landscape of 2026, escalating conflicts between Iran, the US, and Israel culminated in a daring joint operation. On February 28, 2026, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader for over three decades, was killed in a precision strike. This script reconstructs the planning, intelligence gathering by Mossad and CIA, and the execution, based on declassified reports and expert analyses.
INT. MOSSAD HEADQUARTERS - TEL AVIV - MONTHS EARLIER
Dimly lit rooms filled with screens and analysts. Agents pore over satellite imagery and intercepted communications. The Mossad, Israel's premier intelligence agency, has been cultivating a network inside Iran for years.
The operation began months in advance. Mossad, leveraging its deep infiltration into Iran, recruited dissidents and operatives from within the country. Hundreds of agents, including a special unit of Iranian nationals secretly working for Israel, were activated. They smuggled in drones, explosives, and surveillance tech, sabotaging air defenses and gathering real-time data on key targets.

INT. CIA HEADQUARTERS - LANGLEY, VIRGINIA - SIMULTANEOUS
Aerial view of the sprawling complex. CIA analysts track Khamenei's patterns using advanced surveillance, AI models, and signals intelligence.
The CIA complemented Mossad's ground operations with high-tech tracking. For months, they monitored Khamenei's locations and routines, building "high-fidelity" intelligence. This included pinpointing emergency bunkers and using AI to analyze data from previous strikes. Close US-Israel coordination ensured seamless sharing of intel.

EXT. STREETS OF TEHRAN - UNDERCOVER - WEEKS BEFORE STRIKE
Mossad agents, disguised as locals, embed near the Supreme Leader's compound. One operative, an Iranian recruit, relays coordinates via encrypted channels. They even identify bedrooms of key officials for targeted strikes.
Mossad's exact intelligence came from years of covert work. Agents infiltrated deep into Iranian society, using human intelligence (HUMINT) and tech like hidden drones. In a stunning feat, operatives relayed the precise time and location of Khamenei's meeting with top aides, including IRGC commanders. Reports suggest Mossad agents were so close they photographed his body post-strike before Iran confirmed his death.

ISRAELI AIRBASE - DAWN, FEBRUARY 28, 2026
Israeli F-35 fighter jets taxi on the runway, armed with bunker-buster munitions. US kamikaze drones swarm in support to overwhelm defenses.
With intel in hand, the strike was timed to coincide with the gathering. Israeli jets launched a 12-hour offensive, guided by Mossad and IDF data. US forces provided drone support, costing millions in precision tech. Missiles hit the compound around 10 a.m. local time, killing Khamenei and over 40 officials.
