Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 has reported that the palace of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was destroyed in a joint Israeli-American airstrike as part of a wider military operation targeting Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
Explosions Reported Across Tehran
According to the report, multiple explosions were heard across Tehran, including areas near the presidential complex and key government offices. The Israeli military described the operation as a “pre-emptive attack” aimed at reducing what it called strategic threats posed by Iran.
The strikes reportedly form part of a broader campaign focused on degrading Iran’s military command structures and nuclear-related capabilities.
Khamenei Moved to Secure Location
Sources cited by Channel 12 indicated that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was moved to a secure location prior to the strike. However, his current whereabouts remain undisclosed, and Iranian authorities have not officially confirmed his safety.
No immediate statement was issued by Tehran regarding the reported destruction of the palace, and independent verification of the damage remains limited.
Joint US-Israel Operation Confirmed
The Israeli military confirmed the operation, calling it a pre-emptive move intended to counter imminent threats. US officials have not released detailed operational specifics but previously acknowledged coordinated action with Israel targeting Iranian assets.
In earlier remarks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump defended the strikes as necessary for regional security.
Iran Responds with Retaliatory Strikes
Reports indicate that Iran has launched retaliatory missile strikes following the attack, raising fears of a broader regional confrontation. Air defense systems were reportedly activated in several areas as tensions surged.
The rapidly evolving situation has heightened global concern, with diplomatic channels under strain and regional actors bracing for further escalation.
International observers warn that the targeting of high-level leadership infrastructure could mark a significant turning point in the confrontation between Iran, Israel and the United States.
