A senior Iranian official has claimed that Israel deployed “the occult and supernatural spirits” during its recent 12-day war with Iran, according to Iran International. Abdollah Ganji, former editor of the IRGC-linked newspaper Javan and now an advisor to the mayor of Tehran, stated on X that a 'strange phenomenon' occurred during the conflict. “After the recent war, several pieces of paper were found on the streets of Tehran containing talismans with Jewish symbols,” Ganji wrote.
