First Video Of 50 Israeli Missiles Raining On Khamenei's Secret Underground Lair | WATCH

Tehran: The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has released a satellite video showing Israeli missiles raining on the underground military bunker of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday. The IDF stated that 50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dismantled Khamenei’s underground military bunker, which was built beneath his compound in Tehran. The video showed back-to-back missiles being launched on the premises, destroying the structures.

The underground military bunker, which was located beneath the regime's leadership compound in the center of Tehran, was intended to be used by the Supreme Leader of the Iranian regime as a secure emergency command center. It was earlier speculated that the Iranian Supremo was present inside this secret bunker when he was killed on February 28. However, the IDF has claimed that Khamenei was killed before he could use the bunker during operation “Roaring Lion”.

The bunker was still being used by senior Iranian officials after the assassination of Khamenei.

In a statement, the IDF said, “The underground compound was created by the regime as a base for advancing military activities and its extremist ideologies against the State of Israel and the Western world. It spanned multiple streets in the heart of Tehran and contained numerous entrances and meeting rooms for senior members of the Iranian terrorist regime. The bunker was struck following a lengthy process of intelligence collection and research conducted by the IDF’s Intelligence Directorate.”

It added, “The bunker was one of the Iranian leadership’s most important military command centers. Targeting the bunker further degrades the regime’s command and control capabilities.”

Khamenei was killed on Saturday after his residence was attacked shortly after US and Israel launched joint airstrikes on Iran. Khamenei's secure compound was extensively damaged in the attack. A satellite image showed thick plume of black smoke emanating from his compound as his residence collapsed to the ground.

The conflict in the Middle East, which entered its seventh day today (March 6), began when the United State of America and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran under ‘Operation Epic Fury’. Iran retaliated and launched attacks on US military bases in countries across the Middle East.

Several other key Iranian leaders, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in the US-Israeli strikes. At least 1,230 people in Iran, over 100 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel have been killed in the ongoing war.
