Khamenei Has Transferred His Main Powers

The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has transferred his main powers to the Supreme Council of the Revolutionary Guards. This has been reported by Israelinfo. Although Iran has not officially declared a state of war, officials in the judicial system have confirmed that the country is effectively operating under emergency conditions.

The transfer of powers is seen as a precautionary measure to ensure continuity of command in the event of Khamenei's assassination. This step follows reports that Khamenei has moved to an underground bunker in Lavizan, northeast of Tehran, along with his family members. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that they clearly know Khamenei's whereabouts. "He is an easy target, but safe there. We are not going to remove him, at least not now. But we do not want missiles to be fired at civilians or American soldiers."

It should be noted that Israel struck Iran on June 13, declaring that it was targeting Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile program. Iran has retaliated. For six days, the mutual strikes have continued and reports indicate 24 casualties from the attacks.
