US EditionIsrael says it destroyed ‘bunker’ of slain Iran supreme leader
Israeli jets destroyed an underground command center beneath Tehran's leadership compound, eliminating Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and degrading Iran's command-and-control capabilities.
- On Friday, the IDF said about 50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck an underground bunker in Tehran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before he could reach the facility.
- The IDF's Intelligence Directorate mapped the complex over years using the Research Division alongside Unit 8200 and Unit 9900, enabling a precise strike with more than 100 munitions.
- The underground complex stretched across central Tehran beneath the Iranian leadership compound, spanning city blocks with multiple entrances and meeting rooms in a facility Israel called `impenetrable`.
- The strike degraded Iran's command-and-control capabilities by targeting a principal command center, though the leadership compound continued to be used by senior Iranian officials afterward.
- The campaign, part of Operation Roaring Lion, has repeatedly targeted the leadership complex, with additional strikes earlier this week hitting the Supreme National Security Council building, the Assembly of Experts structure, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps main military academy.
