A powerful explosion was recorded in Tehran in an area where Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's bunker is believed to be located, Al Jazeera reported, citing local residents. According to local residents, loud explosions were heard in the area. No official statement has been made yet about the details and consequences of the incident.
It should be noted that the area in question was targeted previously - on June 18.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan in northeastern Tehran hours after Israel began its attacks on Tehran early Friday, two informed sources inside Iran told Iran International.
All members of Khamenei's family including his son Mojtaba are with him, the sources said.
According to the sources, during the previous operations against Israel, True Promise 1 and True Promise 2, the Supreme Leader’s family was also taken to the bunker.
At that time, Mojtaba was by his side, but two of his sons, Masoud and Mostafa, were not with him.
Recently, Israel targeted the city of Mashhad, located 2,300 kilometers from the Jewish State, for the first time.
A diplomatic source in the Middle East told Iran International that the Israeli airstrike on Mashhad was a warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader that he is not safe anywhere in the country.
The diplomatic source added that Israel could have eliminated Khamenei on the first night of the operation, but the Israeli government chose to keep him alive to give him a final chance to decide on completely dismantling the Islamic Republic’s uranium enrichment program.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered increased strikes on strategic targets in Iran following an Iranian attack on an Israeli hospital.
Iran fired about 30 ballistic missiles early Thursday, directly hitting southern Israel's main hospital, Soroka Medical Center, and two more strikes in the central cities of Holon and Ramat Gan, wounding dozens
