The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Friday that it has dismantled the underground bunker of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran.
“The underground compound was created by the regime as a base for promoting military activities and its extremist ideologies against the State of Israel and the Western world,” the IDF said. “It covered several streets in the heart of Tehran and contained numerous entrances and meeting rooms for high-ranking members of the Iranian terrorist regime.”
Israel later released an illustrated video showing a number of access points throughout Tehran with tunnels leading to the underground bunker.

The official said Khamenei spent millions of dollars and several years building the bunker, which he did not use on the morning of the attack. Sources familiar with the intelligence say Khamenei believed no one had the courage to hit him.

Khamenei was assassinated on the first day of Operation Epic Fury after ruling the Islamic Republic for more than three decades. During that time, he oversaw internal crackdowns, including the most recent in January against Iranian protesters, as well as international confrontations.
