Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly been transferred to a secure location within the country, with heightened security measures in place. Two regional officials, briefed by Tehran, revealed this to Reuters, as the Middle East grapples with increasing tension following Israel’s recent military actions.
Israel announced that it had killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during an airstrike on southern Beirut on Friday. Hezbollah has confirmed Nasrallah’s death, which has significantly escalated tensions in the region. Along with Nasrallah, the airstrike also reportedly killed his daughter and the head of Hezbollah’s missile and drone unit.
Iran is said to be in continuous communication with Hezbollah and other proxy groups in the region to determine their next steps. The situation comes in the wake of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza and Palestine, which have already inflamed regional instability.
