Iranian sources revealed to Sky News Arabia on Thursday that the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Esmail Qaani, is being investigated for being hacked, after his office chief, Ehsan Shafiqi, was suspected of communicating with Israel.
The sources explained that Qaani suffered a heart attack and was transferred to the hospital during his investigations, amid great concern about the extent of Israeli infiltration within the
Iranian leadership pyramid .
The same sources revealed to Sky News Arabia that investigations with
Qaani began after his office chief was imprisoned, and information was received about his communication with
Israel through an intermediary living outside Iran.
This comes amid reports of disagreements within the wings of
the Quds Force since the assassination of its former commander
, Qassem Soleimani , disagreements that have pressured Qaani to be removed.
According to the sources, there is a trend towards a new restructuring of the Quds Force after the removal of Qaani, who will be honored according to the Leader
Ali Khamenei in the coming days
