There are unconfirmed reports of Israeli Airforce carrying out strikes in the Lavizan neighborhood of Tehran, where Ayatolollah Ali Khamenei is reportedly hiding, in a bunker. 

As of now, the report hasn't been verified by any noted Israeli media agency. 

Iran has denied the report. The Fars News Agency, which is close to the regime, stated that the rumors show “the US and the Zionist regime’s anger and confusion in the face of the supreme leader’s firm statements made today.” 

Here is what else you need to know

As concerns grow among some of  US President Donald Trump’s supporters about the United States being pulled into a prolonged conflict with Iran, the president has sought to clarify his stance. In a recent press conference, Trump emphasized his primary goal is preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, while leaving open the possibility of limited military action.

Trump was direct when addressing questions about rising tensions with Iran. “I only want one thing: Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon,” he stated firmly. This focus on Iran’s nuclear capabilities has been a consistent theme of his administration’s foreign policy. Trump has repeatedly warned that a nuclear-armed Iran would pose a significant threat to global stability, a sentiment echoed in recent statements where he claimed Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons could lead to “terror all over the world” if not addressed

“We are not looking for a long-term war,” Trump said. 

Meanwhile, the US Defense Secretary has said to the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Department of Defense is prepared to execute any decision Trump takes.
