Multiple forensic indicators and reports suggest Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, is now hiding in underground bunkers likely in Lavizan near Tehran after Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. A forensic analysis of a recent Khamenei video shows dramatically reduced audio and video bitrate, amateur mic setup, and lower production quality indicative of temporary or improvised surroundings. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and U.S. President Trump have both hinted they know Khamenei’s whereabouts; Trump stated the U.S. could target him but “won’t for now”. Meanwhile, Iranian media confirms his bunker relocation, and Khamenei in his latest broadcast warned that any U.S. military intervention would provoke serious consequences. (PC: AFP)
