The bunker created for former Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was reportedly still in use by senior Iranian figures when it was obliterated in a bombardment from 50 Israeli Air Force jets Friday.
Khamenei was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in the opening rounds of attacks on Saturday morning. However, he was killed in his above-ground office during a meeting with senior government figures, meaning his reinforced underground bunker beneath the government’s leadership compound had so far gone untouched. On Friday, the Israeli military published footage of the bombing of the compound, saying 50 IAF jets had been used to pulverize the bunker.
