The paper reported in an exclusive piece that the killing of two senior Iranian officials recently marked a milestone in this campaign, as Israeli intelligence located Ali Larijani, secretary-general of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, and killed him with a missile strike, just days after his public appearance in Tehran.

On the same night, based on information relayed by Iranian civilian sources, an Israeli airstrike targeted the commander of the Basij forces, Gholamreza Solimani, resulting in his immediate death.

The report also describes efforts to dismantle Iran's internal surveillance architecture.

The Wall Street Journal said it had reviewed documents and detailed target lists showing enormous effort to weaken the internal surveillance architecture in Iran.

According to the paper, Israel has launched about 10,000 projectiles so far, targeting thousands of sites, including more than 2,200 targets linked to the IRGC, Basij, and internal security forces.

This strategy, according to Israeli and American officials who spoke to the paper, aims to drive security forces from their fortified headquarters into the open, then pursue them at temporary gathering points, reaching shelters under bridges and in sports complexes.

The documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reveal that one of the deadliest attacks occurred during the first week of the war, when Israeli warplanes bombed the Azadi Stadium sports complex and other facilities after intelligence learned of a plan to assemble security forces there.

The strikes killed hundreds of security personnel and soldiers, according to the paper.

The paper noted that Mossad agents began making direct phone calls to Iranian military and security leaders to threaten them by name.

It cited a call in which a Mossad agent warned a senior Iranian officer that they knew everything about him and that his fate would be exposed if he did not stand by his people.

The Iranian officer reportedly replied that he was not their enemy and was already among the dead, asking for assistance.

Farzin Nadimi, a researcher at the Washington Institute, told the paper that overthrowing a government from the air is difficult, if not impossible.

The Wall Street Journal concluded its report by noting that the Israeli security establishment bets that worsening economic conditions and popular anger place the regime on an irreversible path toward collapse, but the ultimate responsibility for changing the situation remains with the Iranian people themselves.
