The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon spoke for the first time in an interview about the incident in which he was injured when a pager exploded. He shared that he was in his office that day when he heard an unusual beep from the device, which was different from what he was used to.
The Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov” writes about this.
The Ambassador noticed that a message appeared on the pager screen asking him to press a button and, following the instructions, he carried out this action. It was at that moment that an explosion occurred which, according to him, was not strong, but still caused serious injuries.
To recover from the incident, he required two surgeries on his right eye and mouth, which were performed in a Lebanese hospital. The ambassador later traveled to Iran for treatment. He also noted that pagers were widely used by civilians and that he had no connection to military service.
You were given this device solely to receive important notifications in emergency situations.
Previously, Kursor reported that during the investigation it became known how the pagers of Hezbollah terrorists, equipped with a detonator, managed to pass inspection at the Beirut airport.
Kursor also wrote that it became known who bought thousands of pagers for Hezbollah.
Former deputy commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, Masoud Asodalahi, has made a sensational claim, revealing extraordinary details about a botched procurement of pagers for Hezbollah that led to multiple bombings among its operatives.
In an interview with Iranian state television broadcast by Iran International, Asodalahi said the explosive devices were counterfeit versions of products from the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo.
According to Asodalahi, after a series of Israeli operations in which Hezbollah commanders were eliminated by tracking their mobile phones, the organization decided to use pagers, believing them to be safer. However, Hezbollah was missing several thousand of these devices.
To avoid suspicion, the Iranian company, at the request of the Lebanese militants, agreed to purchase the missing pagers. As a result, 5 thousand devices were purchased, which, as Asodalahi noted, passed only minimal security checks.
