Israeli Forces Launch Strikes on Underground Bunker Reportedly Used by Iran’s Supreme Leader
Reports from multiple defense sources indicate that Israeli forces have launched precision strikes on a fortified underground facility believed to serve as a headquarters for Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This operation is being described as one of the most daring military actions Israel has taken against Iran’s leadership infrastructure.
According to various accounts, the strikes targeted Tehran’s Lavizan District, where the underground bunker is allegedly located. This facility is said to be one of the locations where Ayatollah Khamenei and his close family members, including his son Mojtaba, seek refuge during times of conflict. Some sources claim that Khamenei and his family were moved to the bunker just hours after Israel began its latest round of strikes on Iranian territory.
These attacks are part of a broader Israeli military campaign that began around June 13, 2025. The operations have focused on crippling Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities, as well as targeting key figures within the Iranian military leadership. Other high-value targets in Tehran reportedly hit by Israeli strikes include a centrifuge production facility and the headquarters of Iran’s internal security apparatus.
The conflict between the two nations has escalated significantly, with Iran responding by launching missiles and drones at Israeli territory. The intensifying hostilities have raised fears of a potential full-scale regional war.
Regarding Ayatollah Khamenei’s current condition and role, some opposition media outlets have reported that he has been sidelined from major decision-making due to a mental health crisis triggered by the ongoing conflict. These reports suggest that Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and top military leaders are now overseeing national matters. However, these claims have not been verified by official Iranian sources. In fact, Khamenei has made recent public appearances, vowing that Iran will show no mercy in confronting its enemies.
The situation remains fluid, with global observers watching closely as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East.
