EXCLUSIVE

Khamenei and his family hiding in bunker north of Tehran, sources say

Jun 15, 2025, 20:44 GMT+1

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan in northeastern Tehran hours after Israel began its attacks on Tehran early Friday, two informed sources inside Iran told Iran International.

All members of Khamenei's family including his son Mojtaba are with him, the sources said.

According to the sources, during the previous operations against Israel, True Promise 1 and True Promise 2, the Supreme Leader’s family was also taken to the bunker.

At that time, Mojtaba was by his side, but his other two sons, Masoud and Mostafa, were not with him.
