According to Iran International, a fortified bunker complex built for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei beneath central Tehran was struck in an Israeli attack in March 2026, though Khamenei was not present at the time. Construction began in 2009 and took roughly a decade, funded and overseen by the IRGC, the report says.
A new report from Iran International, cited by The Zioneer's curated sources, details the existence of a secret fortified bunker complex constructed for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in central Tehran. According to the report, the facility included a blast-proof room, an escape tunnel network, shelters buried up to 35 meters deep, an underground parking lot, firing ranges, and multiple emergency exits leading to several streets in the city center. Construction began in 2009 and lasted roughly a decade, funded and supervised by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The report further claims the complex was struck in an Israeli attack in March 2026, during which Khamenei was not present. The Zioneer has previously reported on IRGC underground infrastructure beneath Tehran, including a reported 'underground city,' as well as the discovery of Hezbollah's subterranean facilities near the Israeli border, though today's report is the first to specifically detail a bunker intended for the Supreme Leader and its alleged targeting.
