Khamenei Hides in Nuclear Bunker Amid US-Israel Threats; Speculation of Imminent Attack

• Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone into hiding in a nuclear bunker amidst escalating tensions with the US and Israel.
• This is the second time in seven months Khamenei has taken refuge in a bunker; the last instance in June saw US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.
• The move follows threats from former US President Trump of a coup and a strong warning from Israeli PM Netanyahu of an unprecedented attack on Iran.
• Khamenei fears a joint attack on Tehran by Mossad and the US, prompted by Iran's alleged planning against Israel.
• The bunker is described as an impenetrable fortress of iron and concrete, designed to withstand even nuclear and 'bunker buster' bomb attacks.

Why It Matters: Khamenei's retreat to a nuclear bunker signals high alert for Iran amidst serious threats from the US and Israel.
