Summary

Iranian leadership allegedly directs overseas attacks and purges reformists from secret services and embassies The passage links Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to alleged authorisation of overseas attacks and systematic purges within the Quds Force and foreign ministry. While it provides specific high‑level names, it lacks concrete evidence, dates, or transaction details, limiting immediate investigative action. However, the mention of state‑sanctioned violence and internal security restructuring is a moderate lead worth probing for corroboration. Key insights: Khamenei is said to personally authorise all overseas attacks.; Under Ahmadinejad, 42% of foreign ministry staff held only high‑school diplomas.; Quds Force reportedly does not cooperate with the Foreign Ministry.
