IDF Destroys Khamenei's Underground Command Bunker

When Khamenei was killed on Day 1, his underground emergency command bunker beneath Tehran's leadership complex went unused — he never made it there. On Day 7, the IDF removed the last remnant of his operational infrastructure. Fifty Israeli Air Force jets dropped approximately 100 bombs on the site, which the IDF described as spreading across multiple streets with 'many entry points and rooms for gatherings of senior members of the Iranian terror regime.' After Khamenei's assassination, Iranian regime officials had continued using the compound. Intelligence directorate units Unit 8200 (signals) and Unit 9900 (visual) mapped the bunker over a years-long effort, enabling what the IDF called a 'precise' strike. The destruction of the compound eliminates a potential command node for Mojtaba Khamenei's unproven interim leadership.
