Iran Confirms Khamenei’s Secret Defense Plan Amid Ongoing Conflict

Khamenei’s Security Measures

A member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee confirmed today that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was moved to a secure facility at the outset of the current conflict with Israel to prevent assassination attempts. This statement comes amid rising tensions and escalating military actions between Iran and Israel.

Criticism of Russia’s Defense Support

Former Iranian parliament vstart president Ali Mottahari criticized Russia for withholding the S-400 air defense system from Iran. Despite Iran having provided critical support to Russia in its ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Mottahari highlighted the discrepancy, pointing out that Russia has supplied this advanced system to Turkey and Saudi Arabia but not to Iran, suggesting concerns it could be used against Israel.

International Reactions to Iran’s Conduct

In parallel developments, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom condemned threats made by Iran against Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), urging Tehran to fully cooperate with the agency. In a joint statement, the E3 nations called for immediate resumption of full cooperation in accordance with Iran’s legal obligations, emphasizing the need for the safety of IAEA personnel.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry responded, asserting that threats of sanctions are not new and reaffirmed the nation’s resistance against excessive demands. The ministry also remarked on the unreliability of Washington’s shifting positions and criticized France’s involvement in preventing Iranian actions against Israel.

As the geopolitical landscape continues to shift, the international community watches closely, especially regarding Iran’s relationships with both Russia and Western nations amid ongoing sanctions discussions
