Iran's Supreme Leader Relocated to Secure Bunker Amid Rising Tensions

Supreme Leader's Relocation to a Secure Location

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has been moved to one of Tehran's most secure locations. Reports indicate that this bunker is impervious to attacks from the Israeli military, situated in Lavizan, Tehran.

Khamenei, along with his family, is now operating from this bunker, which serves as the command center for his leadership. In Iran, Khamenei holds absolute power.

Details About the Lavizan Bunker

The Lavizan bunker is located approximately 16 kilometers from Khamenei's official residence. He has previously sought refuge in this facility, which is regarded as the safest bunker in Tehran, monitored by the Iranian military. Conducting missile strikes in this area is notably challenging.

The Iranian ground forces' headquarters is also based in Lavizan, where they oversee military operations. According to global security organizations, this area is a hub for missile production.

Uranium Site and Attack Risks

Lavizan houses an underground uranium site, considered one of the most secure locations for uranium storage. If an attack were to occur here, the risk of nuclear radiation would significantly increase, endangering millions of lives in Tehran.

An assault by Israel could lead to severe global repercussions, potentially placing the nation in a precarious position.

The Role of the Supreme Leader in Iran

While Iran has a president and a cabinet, the Supreme Leader holds the highest authority, making all critical decisions. Ali Khamenei, aged 86, has been in this position since 1989.

Before becoming the Supreme Leader, Khamenei served as the president of Iran and was a close confidant of the country's first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini.
