The leader of the leader has adopted a cautious communication strategy with its commanders, using a trusted advisor to avoid electronic tracking. Refugee in a bunker, he designated substitutes for his military leadership and indicated three senior clerics as possible successors, reflecting the severity of the current situation. Since the offensive began, considered the most intense against Iran since the war with Iraq, Khamenei has taken drastic measures to protect the Islamic Republic. Despite significant damage, the country’s command structure seems to be operating normally, without evidence of internal discontent. At 86, Khamenei is aware of the risks he faces, including the possibility of an attack on his life. He instructed the expert assembly to accelerate the process of choosing his successor, which is usually long but has now become urgent due to the context of war. In his pronouncements, he has emphasized the resilience of the Iranian people.
Iran is under constant threat of Israeli air strikes, as well as an infiltration of Israeli agents in their territory. Authorities are alarmed by the possibility of attacks against Khamenei, the entry of the United States in the conflict and new attacks on strategic targets. To deal with this situation, the Ministry of Intelligence implemented strict security measures, including prohibiting the use of electronic communication devices. The situation in Tehran is critical, with the city practically isolated. The internet has been cut and international calls are blocked, resulting in a desolate environment. Control posts were installed on all highways, and residents report a union of political factions around the supreme leader in response to the ongoing war.
