Oooh, an insider? Or just controlling who his replacement will be? Or maybe just simple security theater?

I could see Iran knowing US intel doesn't need insiders to monitor their personnel, but by doing this you make it seem like the means by which America struck are somehow within their grasp to change: ie "There's a spy, we're gonna get him! Satellite imaging and drones are bullshit, don't worry about them!

Interesting either way.
