Mossad launched a Farsi-language Telegram channel for Iranians to follow news updates on Saturday morning, following the IDF's surprise attacks on Iran as part of Operation Shield of Judah.

In announcing the channel launch, Mossad called out to "Our Iranian brothers and sisters," saying that "you are not alone."

"We have launched a super secure and special Telegram channel for you [and] together we will return Iran to its glorious days," Mossad wrote.

Mossad Farsi account calls on Iranians to rise against regime

The intelligence service also called on Iranians to share photos and videos of their "just struggle against the regime."

The message concluded by stating that the most important thing is for Iranians to "take care of themselves."

Iranian state media reported explosions heard in Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Karaj, while Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not in Tehran and has been transferred to a "secure location," an Iranian official confirmed to Reuters.
