From the New York Post: Dramatic video shows 50 fighter jets destroying slain Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s secret underground bunker in Tehran early Friday — just days after he was killed without being able to crawl into his hideout.
Roughly 100 bombs were dropped in a wave of devastating blasts at the compound where the unsuspecting supreme leader and dozens of his top henchmen were wiped out last Saturday.
The underground bunker, which is said to have spanned multiple streets, was still being utilized by senior Iranian officials in the wake of Khamenei’s assassination, the Israel Defense Forces said.
Aerial footage released by the Israeli military shows the moment the bunker — described as “one of the Iranian leadership’s most important military command centers” — was obliterated in the strike.
The report explains that, prior to his assassination last Saturday, Khamenei was believed to be spending most of his evenings in the deep-underground bunker to shield himself from any attacks.
The underground bunker was reportedly located directly under Khamenei’s closely guarded headquarters — had “many entry points and rooms for gatherings of senior members of the Iranian terror regime,” according to the Times of Israel.
“WATCH: ~50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dismantled Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker beneath the Iranian regime’s leadership compound in Tehran,” the IDF wrote, posting the video footage on Friday.
