U.S. Intelligence Says Iran’s Supreme Leader Is Hidden in Undisclosed Location
U.S. officials say messages to Iran’s supreme leader are routed through couriers, delaying negotiations as senior Iranian officials remain unable to reach him directly.
- Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is hidden in an undisclosed location with little access to the outside world, U.S. officials disclosed to CBS on Sunday, employing extreme measures to avoid Israeli-US strikes.

- According to U.S. intelligence, Khamenei is reachable only through a "labyrinth" of couriers, with every piece of information he receives dated and causing significant latency in responses.
- Difficulties reaching Khamenei have slowed deal negotiations with President Trump, with officials describing the communication process as "almost like watching a sitcom" due to extreme latency.
- Despite physical isolation, sources note that Khamenei remains "mentally sharp" and continues to participate in senior meetings via audio conferencing, managing state affairs from his fortified bunker location.
