Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been moved to a secure location within the country due to increasing security concerns, as reported by two regional officials briefed by Tehran. This decision comes in the wake of rising tensions following Israel’s announcement that it had killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on September 27.
Israeli officials have reportedly issued warnings of additional targets in Tehran if Iran and Hezbollah retaliate for Nasrallah’s alleged killing. The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth cited these officials, indicating Israel’s readiness to take further action should hostilities escalate.
The situation underscores the precarious nature of regional security, as both Iran and Hezbollah may respond to the provocations. The relocation of Khamenei highlights the Iranian leadership’s concerns over potential threats amid the growing conflict.
