Iran’s supreme leader has been moved to a highly secure location where he is under the protection of a top-secret elite unit, The Telegraph has learned.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei <www.telegraph.co.uk/ayatollah-ali-khamenei/>, who has ruled Iran since 1989 <www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/06/14/iran-supreme-leader-khamenei-israel-air-strikes-nuclear/>, has entrusted his survival to a previously unknown group of deeply vetted bodyguards, amid increasingly overt threats from Israel on his life, according to officials in Tehran.
Believing Israeli intelligence has comprehensively penetrated the regime, the unit was kept so secret that even senior officials within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were unaware of its existence.
“He’s not hiding from death, he’s not in a bunker,” said one Iranian official. “But his life is in danger, and there is a unit responsible for his protection that no one even knew existed to avoid any chance of infiltration.”
Khamenei has long spoken of his impending “martyrdom” and is believed to have expected that Israel would one day attempt to assassinate him <www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06/17/killing-foreign-leaders-is-a-western-tradition/>. But the killing of at least 11 senior military officers and 14 nuclear scientists in targeted strikes since Israel launched hostilities a week ago has accentuated the risk.
Following a missile strike on a hospital in Beersheba on Thursday, the Israeli government has grown more explicit in its calls for Khamenei’s death.
