Iran's Supreme Leader Reportedly Escapes Assassination Attempt by Going Into Hiding

In a dramatic turn of events, Israeli intelligence sources claim that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, narrowly escaped an alleged assassination attempt by seeking refuge in a secure underground location. According to reports circulating through Israeli media, the Iranian leader took precautionary measures after being alerted to a credible threat on his life.

As both nations remain locked in a long-standing geopolitical rivalry, this revelation—whether factual or part of a broader psychological campaign—adds another layer to an already volatile regional chessboard.
