War Drums Beat Again in Tehran: “Khamenei in Underground Bunker”

The situation in Tehran is escalating, with reports that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has been moved to an underground bunker amid fears of a US attack. Iranian media report that the bunker is fortified and has a network of tunnels. Khamenei's third son, Masoud, has taken over the daily operations of his father's office and is acting as the main liaison with the government. Tehran warns that an attack by the US will lead to a total war. At the same time, major airlines are canceling flights to the Middle East, indicating increased concern about a possible conflict. Former US President Donald Trump stated that many ships have been sent to the region, maintaining a large force on standby. He stressed that he prefers not to see any action, but is closely monitoring the situation. The tensions have escalated after the violent suppression of protests in Iran earlier this month. The situation remains unstable and the possibility of military conflict is increasing.
