The game began a day earlier, when Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that the regime would not reveal the identity of the warlord, citing "his own protection."
A Persian-language “X” account that presents itself as “Israel’s Mossad,” but has never been publicly acknowledged by the agency, announced on Wednesday that investigative journalist Behnam Gholipour had won the guessing game by correctly revealing the name of the newly appointed commander of the Islamic Republic, officially unidentified, Khatam al-Anbiya.
Monday X's post read: "The lucky winner who revealed the 'confidential' name is Mr. Behnam. Please contact us privately to claim your prize."
The game began a day earlier, when Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that the regime would not reveal the commander's identity "for his own protection." The anonymous account X, which has been making satirical and provocative posts since late June, responded that it already knew the name and urged Iranians to send in their guesses.
Who is Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi?
Aliabadi, 63, is a veteran general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who previously served as deputy coordinator of Iran's General Staff and oversaw several major construction and infrastructure projects, holding a leading role in the IRGC's economic wing. Iranian media has referred to him in recent years as "Sardar Abdollahi," emphasizing his role in major development schemes and emergency relief operations.
Israeli officials have not commented on the ownership of the @MossadSpokesman Farsi account, and it is not listed among Israel’s verified government or military social media channels. The account appears to serve as a psychological operations platform that mixes real leaks with mockery to unsettle Tehran’s leadership and engage ordinary Iranians.
Since it appeared online on June 25, it has been posting memes mocking senior Iranian officials, claiming they are secretly following the page. In addition, they have warned everyday users to avoid liking or sharing its posts to avoid Iran's cyber police.
They have also claimed, without evidence, that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had "surrendered" to negotiate direct talks with the United States and Israel. /Pamphlet adapted from the Jerusalem Post/
