With regard to the claim made in the previous post about Esmail Qaani, it should be disregarded. I cannot find any corroborating source online. The source I cited - Power Line - has posted the following retraction-of-sorts.
UPDATE: Too stunning to be true, apparently. It now looks like this was a false rumor that existed only on Twitter. Sorry.
File under “too good to be true.” Rumors apparently started because Qaani was nearly the only top regime official to survive the initial bombing.
Given the Mossad’s fearsome reputation and a Persian culture prone to conspiratorial thought, regime members suspected Qaani had prior knowledge of the attack that he obviously did not share. His actual current status is unknown, and subject to rumors.
