A year-old cryptic tweet has resurfaced, potentially confirming the abduction of an Iranian officer by the Mossad. The tweet, posted on the social media platform X by an account speculated to be officially linked to the Mossad, hinted at the capture of Abdullah Sabri, an officer in the Revolutionary Guards who allegedly aided Hezbollah in searching for Ron Arad.

The New York Times reported on Sunday that Sabri was abducted in September 2021 from the diplomatic quarter of Damascus, Syria, near the Iranian embassy. The operation reportedly involved placing him inside a box.

The tweet, published a year prior to the Times' report, stated, "We know exactly where he lived, and we even took him out for a little outing. Maybe we'll tell you more details later about that outing and about the things Sabri told us during it. It turns out he was quite a talker! Ask him yourself, and he will tell you exactly what kind of outing we organized for him."

Conspiracy theorists have long associated the X account with the Mossad, and this tweet now appears to corroborate the details of Sabri's alleged abduction, suggesting the intelligence agency orchestrated the operation.
