CAPITALS (Hatha Al-Youm) — Informed intelligence sources have revealed highly critical information indicating preparations for a new and horrifying phase of the Middle East conflict. This phase relies on targeting Islamic religious symbols and holy sites to ignite a widespread sectarian war, compensating for military and political failures.
The sources explained that this dangerous plot represents the next step in the war's trajectory.
It comes directly after the failure of previous strategic wagers, which assumed that the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would inevitably lead to the immediate collapse of the regime in Tehran.
According to the intelligence data, the proposed scenario relies on striking sensitive Islamic holy sites under the fog of war while forging the identity of the perpetrators.
The information points to the possibility of directing strikes against major Sunni symbols, such as Mecca, the Prophet's Mosque, or other religious shrines in the region, only to immediately pin the blame on Iran, Hezbollah, or Iraqi militias.
Conversely, the plan includes the potential for direct targeting of Shia shrines and religious symbols in the region, with fingers pointed at the United States, Israel, Gulf states, Jordan, or execution by an unknown third party.
The ultimate goal of this orchestrated exchange of strikes is to shuffle the cards and plunge the region into a devastating Sunni-Shia war that spares no one.
Prominent American media figure Tucker Carlson had previously warned of similar scenarios.
He reviewed a statement by Jewish Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, who called for bombing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and pinning the blame on Iran. Carlson attacked this idea, warning that amid the fog of war, it might be claimed that a missile struck the Dome of the Rock or Al-Aqsa Mosque, followed by accusations against Tehran at a time when verifying the truth is difficult amid conflicting narratives.
He noted that such a scenario could ignite a conflict extending beyond the region's borders. The rabbi had stated in a video published on August 23, 2024, that a missile might strike and destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque to pave the way for the establishment of the Third Temple, describing it as a potential miracle.
The revelation of these intelligence plots comes at a time when Hatha Al-Youm News continues to prove the accuracy of its sources.
The network has previously published a series of investigative reports that all materialized on the ground, based on precise intelligence data and analysis. Those reports included the prior disclosure of the Supreme Leader's assassination method, subsequent scenarios, and the expansion of war fronts, proving over time that Hatha Al-Youm has never erred in its analysis and forward-looking readings of the complex course of events.
