Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly retreated to a heavily fortified underground bunker in Tehran amid fears of a possible U.S. military strike, according to multiple media reports. The move follows warnings from Iranian security officials about heightened risks as U.S. naval forces, including the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group, head toward the Middle East. The bunker includes interconnected tunnels and is meant to protect leadership during conflict. Khamenei’s third son, Masoud, is said to be handling daily operations and communications. Tehran has warned that any attack would trigger a severe response. (PC: AFP)
