How Did They Track Khamenei?

For 36 years he was one of the most protected men alive — a bunker so deep the lift took five minutes to descend. This is the decade-long kill chain that ended it: a document heist, hacked Chinese cameras, three satellite fleets, Pegasus phones, and an AI that built the target list in 90 minutes. A full study of Nitish Rajput's explainer.

Ten years, step by step

2017
Deadlock
Israel kills scientists and bombs sites; Khamenei keeps appointing replacements and relocating the program. It slows but never ends.
31 Jan 2018
The document heist
Mossad cuts the safes in a Shorabad warehouse with blowtorches and trucks out ~½ ton of nuclear archives — exposing secret underground sites invisible to satellites. Goal shifts from "the program" to "the man."
2018–2022
Infiltration
Human assets inside the compound's maintenance staff; garbage and food-delivery analysis; Pegasus on guards, drivers, cooks, doctors; full route-mapping; thousands of drones smuggled in and hidden.
~2022
The camera hack
Unit 8200 exploits an unpatched RCE bug in Iran's Chinese Tiandy/Hikvision cameras. Streets, offices, traffic and the compound's own cameras start feeding Israel.
2022–2023
Eyes in orbit
Ofek-13/16, the US KH-11, and a signals satellite track number plates, rooftop antennas, shadows and radio chatter. Data is crunched at Pine Gap, Australia.
2023
Iran adapts
No electronics near Khamenei; visitors blindfolded; convoy moves timed to satellite blind spots; the compound wired with fibre-optic cable to defeat signal intercepts.
7 Oct 2023
Trigger
After the Hamas attack, world sympathy shifts to Israel. Mossad doubles its deployment around Pasteur Street; the plan moves to execution mode.
2024
The AI sifts it all
Palantir's Maven system (with integrated models) processes the mountain of data, builds a target list in ~90 min at a claimed 98.7%, and learns Khamenei's pattern of life — and his body doubles.

How one man was seen from every angle

On the ground

  • Human assets planted/recruited among maintenance staff
  • Garbage & food deliveries analysed for clues
  • Pegasus (NSO Group) on guards, drivers, cooks, doctors
  • Route mapping of every bunker exit and movement
  • Thousands of drones smuggled in and pre-positioned

From the sky

  • Hacked cameras — Tiandy/Hikvision RCE bug, via Unit 8200
  • Ofek-13 / Ofek-16 — Israeli recon satellites
  • KH-11 KeyHole — US optical sat reads plates & antennas
  • Signals satellite — intercepts walkie-talkie & sat-phone
  • Pine Gap, Australia — CIA station processing the take

The brain

  • Palantir Maven smart system built for the Pentagon
  • Integrated AI models to fuse cameras + taps + reports
  • ~90 min to a target list of thousands
  • 98.7% claimed accuracy on shifts, convoys, bunkers
  • Pattern of life — even separated him from body doubles
Iran's counter-play: banned electronics near Khamenei, blindfolded even the security council's secretary inside the bunker, timed all movement to satellite blind spots, and wired the compound with fibre-optic cable so the signals satellite couldn't read internal comms. It narrowed the window — it didn't close it.

The morning it happened

7:30
F-35s and F-15s lift from Nevatim and other airbases toward Tehran; US jets launch from regional bases in the Middle East.
~9:30
Khamenei leaves the bunker for the above-ground Beit-e-Rahbari. The 40-officer meeting begins — IRGC chief Mohammad Pakpour, the defence minister, Quds Force general Esmail Qaani and others. Hacked car-park cameras confirm it live.
7:50
As jets approach Iranian airspace, mobile towers around the compound are jammed — the posted guards' flow of information goes dark.
+mins
Dormant supply-chain malware planted years earlier in Iran's S-300 / Bavar-373 network activates: radar screens blank, targeting computers glitch, field units lose the command centre.
+mins
US Navy EA-18G Growlers in the Persian Gulf flood the airspace with jamming; pre-positioned smuggled drones blow up the exact S-300 / Bavar-373 battery sites. Air defence collapses.
9:40
Jets reach the compound. 30+ Blue Sparrow missiles — out of the atmosphere at 90°, back down at hypersonic speed — land precisely on the meeting room. Everyone present is killed.
+12 min
The "Bade Saba" prayer-time app — installed by ordinary Iranians, with location access — pushes notifications: "Help has arrived," then a call for the army to surrender.
After
Jets hit pre-planned secondary targets — drone bases, aircraft shelters, radar sites. Only Mojtaba Khamenei, who had just stepped into another building, survives (injured) and becomes the new Supreme Leader.
The Story

The man, the fortress, and the ten-year patience

The thing to understand first is that this was never a hit. It was a system, built slowly, that made one of the most protected men on earth predictable.

By 2017 Israel had a problem it couldn't bomb its way out of. Every time it killed an Iranian nuclear scientist, Khamenei appointed another. Every time it destroyed a site, he moved the program. The nuclear effort slowed but never died, because the leadership simply rebuilt it. The realisation that changed everything came in January 2018, when a Mossad team blowtorched its way into a warehouse in Shorabad, Tehran, and drove off with roughly half a ton of Iran's original nuclear archives. Inside those files were secret underground facilities Israel hadn't known existed — sites its agents and satellites had missed. The lesson the war cabinet drew was blunt: you cannot bomb a permanent solution. As long as Khamenei and his core team were intact, the program would always come back. The target stopped being the centrifuges. It became the man.

But Khamenei wasn't a man you killed on a whim. He was a symbol of a whole country, and killing him carelessly meant full-scale war, an international-law crisis, and global backlash. So Israel did something disciplined: it waited, and it prepared on two tracks at once. The military track built a complete blueprint — real-time location, movement patterns, bunker access, security protocols. The diplomatic track worked to make sure that when the moment came, the United States stood beside it and the world's perception had already been shaped.

Mapping a city to find one room

The focus narrowed to the Pasteur Street compound — 30 acres holding the House of Leadership, the president's office, the Supreme National Security Council, the office of Khamenei's son Mojtaba, and more than fifty top offices of the Iranian state, all wrapped in three concentric security rings, jammers, frequency detectors and anti-rocket nets. And beneath it, a second city: a bunker so deep the lift took five minutes, threaded into a five-kilometre tunnel network with eight or more disguised exits surfacing under a car park, schools, a mosque, a vaccination centre and a hospital that sat directly over the command post.

Against that, Israel ran a patient, multi-layered infiltration. Some maintenance workers around the compound — electricians, plumbers, cleaners — were planted; others were recruited, compromised, or were locals who already opposed the leadership. They didn't need to walk into the inner sanctum; they reported movement, and they analysed what came out — the garbage, the food deliveries. Unit 8200 and Mossad hacked the phones of guards, drivers, cooks and doctors with Pegasus. Every escape route and bunker entrance was mapped. Thousands of drones were quietly smuggled into Iran and hidden — a decision whose purpose would only become clear on the final morning.

The bug, the satellites, and the machine

Then came the break. Iran had blanketed Tehran with Chinese Tiandy and Hikvision cameras to watch protesters — and those cameras carried an unpatched remote-code-execution flaw. Unit 8200 walked through it and turned the city's own surveillance grid, including the compound's cameras, into an Israeli feed. From above, Israel's Ofek-13 and Ofek-16 satellites tracked the smallest movements; the American KH-11 was precise enough, from 500–600 km up, to read rooftop antennas and number plates and to calculate the height of an object from the length of its shadow; a signals satellite swept up every walkie-talkie order and sat-phone call. The take was processed at Pine Gap, the CIA station in the Australian desert. A former CIA official told The Guardian that even the food being ordered inside the compound was reaching Israel live.

Iran wasn't blind to this. By 2023 no one near Khamenei was allowed an electronic device; the secretary of the national security council was blindfolded to enter the bunker; the convoy moved only in the gaps between satellite passes; and the whole compound was wired with fibre-optic cable so that internal communications travelled as light pulses the signals satellite couldn't catch. It was good tradecraft. It narrowed the window. It didn't close it — because there was now too much data for Iran's discipline to outlast.

That mountain of cameras, intercepts and agent reports — hundreds of thousands of gigabytes — was beyond any human team. So it went into Palantir's Maven smart system, the platform built for the Pentagon with AI models integrated underneath. In about ninety minutes it produced a target list of thousands at a claimed 98.7% accuracy: which driver drove which leader, when shifts changed, which car led the convoy, which bunker Khamenei fled to under threat. It studied his posture and his gait closely enough to tell him apart from his body doubles. After years of fog, the machine made him predictable.

Politics, patience, and the morning above ground

The blueprint was ready; the politics weren't. Under Biden, the strike was off — Reuters reported him restraining Israel through 2024. So Israel waited out the US election. Trump's November 2024 win, backed by major pro-Israel donors, changed the calculus. In June 2025, Operation Rising Lion — US-supported joint airstrikes — battered Iran, but key nuclear sites survived and 60% enrichment was already done. Trump declined to kill Khamenei "for now," even posting that the US knew where he was. By November 2025, Netanyahu and his defence and intelligence chiefs fixed the kill for the first quarter of 2026 — a decision Defence Minister Israel Katz would later confirm.

Even with everything in place, one problem remained: a strike needs live intelligence. If thirty missiles hit building B while Khamenei walked to building C, the mission failed and there'd be no second chance — he might never leave the bunker again. So the AI's pattern-of-life work, confirmed by a deeply placed agent inside the inner circle, became the final piece. On 23 February 2026 came the intel they'd waited years for: a high-level meeting of Khamenei and forty top officers on the 28th. Four days later, two more reports landed — the meeting would be held above ground, not in the bunker, and moved to morning. At 3:38pm EST on 27 February, Trump gave his approval.

The next morning the air defences were blinded — towers jammed, dormant malware blanking the radar, Growlers flooding the airspace, and the long-smuggled drones destroying the S-300 batteries exactly where they sat. At 9:40, more than thirty Blue Sparrow missiles arced out of the atmosphere and came down on the precise room where the meeting was underway. Khamenei, his daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and the assembled leadership were killed. Only Mojtaba Khamenei — who had stepped into another building moments earlier — survived, and is now Iran's Supreme Leader.

Two questions hang over the ending, and the video leaves them open. Why was a meeting that safe held above ground at all? And how did General Esmail Qaani, present that morning, walk away — as he reportedly had nine times before — prompting Mossad to publicly deny he was its spy before Iran arrested him anyway? The honest answer is that the most sophisticated machine in the chain may still have needed one human being on the inside to confirm the man was in the room.

A man who was one of the most protected people in the world for the past 36 years. The bunker he used to stay in was so deep that the lift used to take 5 minutes to reach down. Multiple layered security, thousands of guards, absolutely impossible target. But with the help of hacked cameras, satellite intelligence, Mossad and CIA dropped the missile exactly where Khameni was standing on 28th of February, 2026.

And this was not a luck. There was a 10 years of planning behind this. And how did they do all this? I will tell you step by step.

After Khameni came to power in Iran, by the year 2017, to end the nuclear program, if Israel was killing Iranian scientists, then Khameni was appointing new scientists. If Israel was blowing up nuclear sites, then Khameni was shifting the program to another location. As we have discussed in our previous video. In total, there was a deadlock situation in which the nuclear program of Iran was slowing down, but not ending forever.

Because Khameni and his leadership were rebuilding it again and again. And till this time, Israel's agenda was not to kill Khomeini, but to end the nuclear program. But a year later, on 31st of January, 2018, there was a huge shift in Israel's strategy. In a warehouse in Shurabad, Tehran~ Iran had kept all the original documents & disks of the nuclear program secretly.

And on the same day, Mossad reached there, cut the iron safes with a blowtorch, stole about half a ton of documents & disks in a truck and brought them to Israel. The document heist that Mossad did, gave Israel a reality check. In these documents, Israel learned a lot. They learned about Iran's secret underground locations, which Israel did not even know about.

It was not even visible through satellites. Even after having so many secret agents of Mossad in Iran, Khameni and his leadership were working on these things very secretly. So far, Israel's only focus was to end Iran's nuclear program. But after this incident and the things that came out of it, the Israeli war cabinet realized that it would not get a permanent solution by dropping bombs on nuclear sites As long as Khameni and his core team are intact, they will keep on rebuilding nuclear power plants.

And from here, the phase of eliminating Khameni begins. But the point here was that Khameni wasn't an ordinary man, that Israel took a decision today & killed him tomorrow. Khomeini was not a man, but a symbol of the whole country. If someone had killed Khameni just like that, it would have become a big trigger.

And after that, things would not remain limited to killing one person, but would turn into a full-scale war. There would be an issue of international law in front of Israel. There would be political backlash from the whole world. So, without taking US along and creating a political ground in the world, Israel couldn't take the risk of killing Khameni.

So that when the time comes to strike on Khamenei, Israel has real-time location, movement patterns, bunker access, security protocols, the entire blueprint is ready. Second, they also did diplomatic preparation at the same time. So that when they eliminate Khamenei, US is with them and there is no international pressure. Collecting fresh intelligence, collecting the evidence of Iran's nuclear reconstruction, presenting it to the world and changing the perception.

Work was also started on all these things. In Iran's Tehran, there used to be Pasteur Street compound where Khameinei used to live. And 16 km away from this compound, there was a Lavizan area. So, when needed, they used to go to this bunker.

So basically, the Pasteur Street compound and the Lavizan area, was very important for Israel to prepare its intelligence infrastructure in this area. Because Khamenei was located here. So the special teams of Israel Military Intelligence, like Unit 8200 and Unit 9900 and Human Intelligence Operatives of Mossad~ their priority shifted to the Pasteur Street compound area for the next few years. Now, this Pasteur Street compound is one of the heavily guarded areas in the world.

It was not that easy to penetrate the inner circle of Khamenei. Israeli intelligence started studying the blueprint of this Pasteur Street compound. Now, your question will be, what is this Pasteur Street compound area? So, let me tell you about this compound.

Because without understanding this, it will be very difficult to understand how Khamenei was killed. So, there is a Pasteur Street road in Tehran. And next to this road, there is an area of 30 acres, 620 m wide and 770 m long. This area is also called the Pasteur Street compound or sometimes called the Motahari complex.

And inside this compound, if you look here, there is the house and office of Khamenei, Beit-e-Rahbari. Many times, it is also called the House of Leadership in the news. And inside this Khamenei compound, there is an area called Imam Khamenei Hussainia, where Khamenei meets the public. And next to it, if you look here, there is the office of the Iranian President, Supreme National Security Council, Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Their office is also here. And a little away from this compound, if you look here, there is the headquarter of the Supreme Court, Ministry of Intelligence, IRGC headquarter. There are more than 50 offices of the top Iranian government. So, with this, you can get an idea of how important and secure this place will be.

This entire compound was secured in 3 layers. The third layer is active at a radius of 500 m from the house and office of Khamenei, Bait-e-Rahbari. The guards of Vali-e-AMR secure it. They directly report to Khamenei and not to anyone else.

After this, the second layer is active at a radius of 350 m. Similarly, the first layer secures the individual buildings in the compound. The most capable and reliable security forces of Iran look after security here. Like Ansar-Al-Mahdi, Rapid Reaction Unit, Nabi Akram, Al-Zahra.

All these security units are active at every corner of this compound. And inside this entire compound, rotating cameras, frequency detection devices, mobile phone jammers, iron nets to stop rockets and drones~ the entire area is covered with security systems. Now, what I told you is about the surface above Pasteur Street Pateur Street compound is in two parts. One is above the ground and the other is below the ground.

There is a very deep bunker below this compound. And it is so deep that it takes 5 minutes to reach below this bunker. And Khamenei mostly stays in this bunker. Sometimes, he comes to the upper area of the house during the day.

And it is not that the bunker is built in a small place. This bunker is connected below the entire Tehran. And it is spread through a tunnel network in an area of 5 km. And it connects all the important places from there.

Khamenei can reach anywhere he wants by moving down. There are more than 8 entry and exit gates from where Khamenei can go down. This red line on the map is the entire inner route where the entry and exit points are. And these 8 entry and exit gates open above the surface in important buildings.

Like 2 gates open in multi-story parking. One gate opens near the school, Saheb AL-Zaman. The other gate opens near the vaccination center. Similarly, one gate opens near the children's football training school.

And one gate opens below the Tawhid Mosque and KodKhodaei school. And the main area where Khamenei's command post is located is a hospital. Shahid Shurideh Medical Center. It was just below that.

So, all this means that these entry and exit gates were deliberately placed here. So that the child can be saved from the attack and the movement can be done below. Now, when this is such an important area and Khamenei is also here. The entire power center is here.

So, the entire focus of the Israeli intelligence was on this Pasteur Street compound and the Lavizan area around it, where Khamenei used to go when needed. Now, what the Israeli intelligence did for this Pasteur Street compound was~ by making a multi-layered infiltration strategy, they started to infiltrate these compounds. In which they targeted this area in different ways. First of all, human infiltration.

They started planting their people in the inner circle of The maintenance staff inside the compound, electricians, plumbers, cleaners. Some of them were planted by the Israeli agents. Some were recruited and some compromised themselves. And some were caught by the locals who were against Khamenei's leadership.

They were hired by Israel. These people did not go directly inside the compound. But by staying around the compound, they used to check the food deliveries, the waste coming out of the compound to see if there was anything in it. Reporting the movement of the compound.

They used to do all this. The waste coming out of this compound was also analyzed. Along with this, heavy technical surveillance was also started. Khamenei's guards, drivers, cooks, doctors.

Israeli company, NSO group's spyware they started hacking their phones with Pegasus. Along with this, route mapping was also done. All the escape routes, the entrance of every bunker, movements, everything was mapped. Which building do the exit and entry gate connect to?

And along with this, the Israeli intelligence smuggled thousands of drones into Iran. And started hiding them in different areas. Now, why did they smuggle the drones? This will come later.

When the jets of US and Israel will enter to kill Khamenei. Then this part will come. So, the preparation of all these things was going on. And when all these things were going on, at the same time, very important thing comes in the hand of Israeli Intelligence which turns out to be the biggest game changer.

Actually, what happens is that, in the whole of Tehran and this compound, Iran had installed cameras of Tandy and Hikvision of the Chinese company everywhere. These cameras were used to keep an eye on the protesters. And there were other security reasons as well. But the problem was that these cameras had a remote code execution bug.

Because of which, if the firmware of these cameras, i.e. if the system software is not upgraded, then any hacker can hack it remotely. So, the Israeli unit 8200 took advantage of this bug. And hacked the cameras of the streets, alleys, offices, traffic cameras, including the Pasteur street compound in Iran.

And all the recordings from here started reaching Israel. And after this, they not only surrounded the Pasteur street compound from the ground, but also from the sky. Israel's satellite fleet Ofek-13 and Ofek-16, used to pass over the Pasteur street compound regularly. And used to track the smallest movements and send them to Israel.

And in this, even US also helped Israel. US's KH-11 keynote series satellite was so precise, that from 500 to 600 km above, in the area near the Pasteur street compound, which building's rooftop had which antenna installed. What is the number plate of the car? It used to track everything.

Ther satellite used to calculate the height of the object's shadow and send it to Israel as a pinpoint intel. And the biggest game-changer was the Orion satellite. What it used to do is, whenever a commander inside the compound, used to talk to his guard or the IRGC officer used to give orders on his walkie-talkie or used to call on the satellite, then the Orion satellite used to track all these things. And after tracking all these signals, in the middle of the desert of Australia, was the secret military location of a CIA, Pine Gap.

All the data used to be processed here. For the smallest details of Khamenei, to what extent these people had entered the Pasteur street compound, you can guess from this, that an ex-CIA official had told The Guardian~ what food they used to order in this compound, this information was brought to Israel absolutely live. And all these things that Israel and US were doing, it wasn't that Iran didn't know anything. Iran's intelligence was also fully active.

By the year 2023, the situation was such that, all the people around Khameini, be it the guard, security team, staff, none of them were allowed to keep electronic gadgets or anything that transmits signals. In fact, Iran's Supreme National Security Council's secretary, Ali Larijani, when he was called to meet Khameini in the bunker, he was blindfolded. And the security team of Khameini, had calculated all the details of US and Israel's satellite, to avoid them. How high is their satellite, how fast does it move, when does it complete its orbit, how much time does it take, they knew all these things.

And by calculating all these things, they had calculated the limited time window. And according to that, the movement of Khameini's convoy, the meetings or to shift from the bunker, all these things were done at the same time, in the satellite's time window. And even in the Pasteur Street compound, there was an internal communication with each other, to avoid getting caught. For this, Iran's security team, had connected the entire Pasteur compound, with the fiber optic cable network.

In these cables, the data travels through light pulses, so the Orion satellite, couldn't catch them. So while doing all these things, it was the time of September 2023, and between Israel & Iran, this game of serve lines, counter serve lines, was going on as it is. But next month, on the 7th of October 2023, Hamas attacked Israel. This became a very big trigger point for Israel.

The sympathy of the world came with Israel. And Israel put all the blame, on Iran and Iran's proxy, Hezbollah and Hamas. And they started taking action, on their proxy. And along with this, the activities that were going on, in the area around Pasteur street compound, to kill Khamenei, became very fast, at this time.

The agents of Mossad, doubled their deployment, in Pasteur street compound. And the plan to kill Khamenei from here shifted to execution mode. All the small details and data that they had collected, like 24x7, thousands of cameras, video recordings, lakhs of tapped phone calls, mobile data, satellite images, thousands of pages of on ground agents' reports. So this data of lakhs of GB, was not possible for a human, to process it.

So for this, there is a private company, Palantir. For the Pentagon, they had made Maven smart system, in which they had sub-integrated, Claude AI, etc. All the data is processed, in this Maven smart system, which they had collected, regarding Khamenei. After analyzing all the data~ this software, in 90 minutes, with 98.7% accuracy, to kill Khamenei made a list of thousands of potential targets.

And they predicted, multiple important data points. Like, which driver drives which leader's car, which security guard is in which leader's security. When does their shift change? Which car drives ahead of everyone in Khamenei's convoy?

At the time of danger, which bunker does Khamenei go to? Even Khamenei's body posture, style of walking, this too, was analyzed deeply, by this AI. So that Khamenei and his body double, can be understood as different. Now from here, all of Israel's plan and preparation was ready.

But the problem for Israel was that, Biden was the President. And Biden killing Khamenei, was a far task but he also wasn't openly supporting Israel directly attacking on Iran. When all this was going on, at the same time, in April 2024, Reuters published multiple reports, in which they said that Biden had warned Israel, that US will not take part in any retaliatory action against Israel. Similarly, in October 2024, a report was published, which mentioned that at this time, Biden again stopped Israel from taking action against Iran.

Now at the time, all this was going on. This time was also very unique for Israel. Because next month, that is, November 2024, US Presidential Election was going to happen. And if after Biden, Trump wins the election again and becomes the President, then the kind of Trump's past record against Iran has, in that, to kill Khamenei, Israel had a very high chance, of getting full support from the US.

So expecting the same thing, Israel took a strategic pause. And next month what Israel was expecting, happened. On 5th of November, 2024, Trump wins the election. And he won the election, but there was an interesting angle in this election.

In this election, Jewish billionaire, Miriam Adelson, became one of the biggest individual donors of Trump. She did massive funding in Trump's election campaign. And as soon as, the results of US election, geopolitical observers and experts started predicting, that these pro-Israel donors who gave money to Trump, would expect a hard action on Iran. And Trump won't be able to politically afford to anger the Jewish donors.

And surprisingly, something similar happened. Because, a few months after Trump came to power, on 13th of June, 2025, Israel started Operation Rising Lion against Iran. *What officials are calling Operation Rising Lion?* *A highly coordinated effort is now underway involving intelligence units, surveillance assets* *and rapid response teams marking 25 days.* *US fully supported and even sent its own jets.* Joint airstrikes were carried out on different sites of Iran. Now when this strike was going on, at the same time, Khamenei, instead of his house in Pasteur Street Compound he was in Tehran's North-East area, his underground bunker, in Lavizan, which I had already told you about in that, along with his wife, a daughter and four sons, he shifts there.

And this bunker in Lavizan, was not a normal bunker. It also had anti-bomb, anti-aircraft systems, everything. A heavy bunker buster, could also bear the impact of heavy bunker buster like GBU-57. And like the underground bunker, in Pasteur street compound, which was connected to different areas and opened, the same system was also connected to this.

Now when everything was going on and bombs were falling, at the same time, Khamenei shot a 9-minute video from inside the bunker. Generally, Khamenei's videos are not of low quality. But this time the video that came out was made in very low quality bit rate and audio, were blurred and released. This was done, so that CIA and Mossad, couldn't analyze, ambient noise, like ventilation, generator the depth of the bunker, or the idea of the machine being used and not attack anywhere.

But all these precautions, that Iran took even after that Israel's preparation, was of such a level that Israel knew exactly, where Khamenei was. Israel's preparation was such that whenever Israel wanted, it could attack Khamenei. In fact, multiple reports were published that Israel even tried to convince Trump that the time, when we are attacking, at the same time Khamenei should also be killed. Everything's solution, would be found.

But according to the report, Trump refused at this time. Now Trump did refuse, but at the same time, that is, on 17th of June, 2025 Trump immediately posted Truth on Social Media Platform, in which it was written, that we know where Khamenei is but for now, we won't kill Khamenei. And a few days after this tweet, the airstrikes stop. Again, the negotiation starts with Iran.

Now, the airstrikes had stopped. But with their full capacity, after such a heavy airstrike many critical nuclear sites were such that either, there was minimal damage or they were completely safe. On top of that 60% enrichment, had already been done. Now the fear of Israel had increased even more.

Because the calculation was clear that if Khamenei and his leadership are not killed as soon as possible or removed from the way then, stopping this nuclear program, will be almost impossible. Because everyday Iran was advancing in its nuclear program. And Israel's time was running out. In the same week, they tried one more thing they tried to protest, so that, Khamenei's assassination, wasn't needed.

Iran's people removed Khamenei, but this too was not successful. Now, from here a very important detail is that, on November 2025, PM Benjamin Netanyahu had a meeting with the Defense Minister, Mossad Chief, IDF Intelligence Head and the plan to kill Khamenei and the date was fixed at the same time. That in the first quarter of 2026, Khamenei should be killed. And, this thing that I am telling you, Israel's Defense Minister, Israel Katz, after the assassination had also revealed it.

Now, this was the time from where everything was fixed. Trump was also in Israel's support. Everything was fixed. For so many years, Israel and Mossad had made a plan for All the intelligence was already with Israel.

Israel knew every corner of Psteur Street Compound. But the problem was that, to do an actual airstrike, live and real-time intelligence should be known. Minute by minute should be known, that at the time of the strike Khamenei, in actual, where he would be, in which direction he would be moving. Suppose, 30 out of 30 airstrikes hit building B instead of building A.

And, at the same time, Khamenei goes to building C. Then the entire mission will fail. And they won't get a chance again. It is also possible that Khamenei won't leave the bunker again.

So even after everything was fixed, this challenge was in front of Israel. And for this too using AI, Khamenei's pattern of life was found. See, every person follows a predictable pattern. Like, Khamenei's driver, in the morning leaves the house at 6.45.

Then, turns left. Like this, the security chief meets his brother on Tuesday. If Khamenei's convoy, takes route A then in that case, the backup team, waits at route C. Using all such observations, AI found Khamenei's pattern of life.

And after doing this, mostly things became predictable. Along with this, on the ground in Khamenei's inner circle, in a very big position, Israel's agents had already entered. Who actually confirmed, whether the pattern was being followed or not. Now after doing all these things, on 23rd of February, 2026, Israel gets such an important intel for which these agents had been working for years.

They get a confirmed information, that on 28th of February, 2026, at night Khamenei with his 40 top officers will hold a high-level meeting in Beit-E-Rahbari in Pasteur Streert Compound. , And this was a golden opportunity for Israel. Because not only Khamenei, but Khamenei's entire leadership, was going to gather, altogether, at the same place, at the same time. And in the intel that was received, it was not confirmed, whether the meeting would be in the upper area of the Pasteur street compound or, would be in the bunker, But the Israel agencies, thought that, it would be in the bunker, because Khamenei was the safest there.

So according to this, they started the preparation. On 23rd February, this intel was received and 4 days later, on 27th February, 2026, two more big intels are received. And this was such an intel which made Israel's entire work easier. First was that next day, i.e.

28th February, Khamenei's meeting, would not be in the bunker but in the upper area of the Pasteur street compound. Second the night time which was fixed was changed to the morning time. Now when this was found out, i.e. on 27th of February, 2026, at 3.38 pm EST Israel along with US shares all these details.

And after knowing all these details, Trump gives the approval to eliminate Khamenei. Now after approval very little time was left for the attack. US and Israel's team starts the preparation. Their plan was that first of all, they would go to the Pasteur street compound and kill Khamenei and his entire leadership in one shot.

Because if they were involved in any other thing, then Khamenei could have found out. And if Khamenei went back to the bunker then it would have been a big problem for them. So after Khamenei's assassination, the remaining locations of Iran, were decided to be targeted. So after fixing everything, on 28th February, 2026 the biggest, joint airstrike of modern history was about to happen.

In the morning at 7.30 am, from Israel's Nevatim airbase and other bases, F-35, F-15, all these fighter jets were heading towards Tehran's Pasteur street compound. The screen you are seeing, this aerial corridor, was predicted by the experts, that this route was taken by Israel. So Israeli fighter jets, were flying from here and at the same time, from US regional bases in middle east they were flying their jets from there, towards the Pasteur And on the other side, at the same time, Khamenei left his bunker and in the area above the compound in Bait-e-Rahbari~ IRGC Chief, Mohammad Pakpour, Defense Minister~Aziz, Irani Quds Force General, Ismail Qaani such top 40 officials started the meeting. Israel had already hacked the cameras in the parking area.

So all the information was being confirmed, back to back by Israel. Now after this at 7.50 am, the jets of Israel and US, were about to enter in Iran's airspace. They had planned that as soon as they were about to enter the mobile towers around the Pasteur street compound were jammed. The network was busy, of the posted guards inside the The flow of information had stopped.

Now to reach the Pashto street compound, the biggest challenge was Iran's air defense system. Iran shielded Tehran from the Russian-made, S-300 and Bavar-373. Without killing them, entering the compound was very risky for the jets of Israel US. And at the same time, Israel's planning for so many years was useful.

Israel's cyber warfare unit~ Unit 8200, when the system was being installed, then through their supply chain, in Iran's air defense network, embedded malware was installed, that was inactive for years, at the same particular time when the jets of Israel and US were about to enter, these malwares were activated. All the radar screens were blank. The targeting computers started glitching. The contact with the command center of Iran's field unit was shut down.

In a way, Iran's entire air defense network was paralyzed. And even after doing all this, as a backup, that is, if a radar is saved, for that US Navy had deployed their, EA-18G, crawler aircraft, in the Persian Gulf. Before the jets of Israel and US could enter, the crawler aircraft, turned on their powerful jamming system. This resulted in very strong, electromagnetic waves in the Iranian airspace.

Only static noise and signals were stopped being detected. And what I told you in the beginning, that these people, smuggled drones and gathering them, in different areas of Iran, at the same time, they were also activated. In Iran, the place where S-300 and Bavar-373 batteries were positioned, exactly where they were, they already knew. So all these drones were activated and exactly they were only blown up.

And after doing all this, Iran's entire air defense system collapsed. And the jets of Israel and US headed towards, Pasteur street compound, without any hinderance started their entry. Now by the time, all of this was going on, it was 9.40 in the morning. In the Pasteur street compound, the meeting between, Khamenei and his team, was going on as it is.

After this, exactly at 9.40 in the morning, first of all the fighter jets dropped the bombs. Their intel was so accurate, that exactly where the meeting was going on, the bombs were dropped there. And at a pinpoint location more than 30, Blue Sparrow missiles were dropped. These missiles, first, go out of the atmosphere at a 90 degree angle, then hit the target at a hypersonic speed.

So exactly 30 such missiles, were dropped where, Khamenei was having a meeting. Everything here gets destroyed. All the people got killed. Before this attack, the compound looked like this.

After the attack, it became like this. And after attacking this compound, the fighter jets of Israel and US started attacking inside Iran, the rest of the places which they had already decided as the targets. Their drone bases, aircraft shelters, and radar sites were their main targets. They attacked everyone in a coordinated manner.

These are their images. Now after all these things, after 12 minutes, inside Iran, a religious app, Bade Saba is installed. It shows the prayer time. So all the people have installed it.

Through this notifications start coming, on the mobile phones of the Iranians. Help has arrived. And after a while, another notification comes. In that, the Iranian army, is asked to surrender.

This app which was installed by the common people of Iran, asked for the access of the location. You can imagine to what extent the data of the people of Iran, was compromised, by Mossad and CIA. Inside this attack, Khamenei himself, his daughter, son-in-law, his daughter's children and all those officials were killed on the spot. Only Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, who is now the current Supreme Leader is saved.

Because a little while ago, he had left the meeting and went to the building. But he is also injured. Now after all this, the question was, that at a specific time, at a pinpoint, at one place, more than 30 bombs were dropped. Now it sounds easy to hear, but it was not an easy task.

From so far, after so much preparation, exactly at that time, at that place, to reach there. So the experts in this, say that, someone who was very close to Khamenei shook hands with Israel. And even after the bunker, the meeting was kept, above the compound. This was a very odd thing.

The question arises that, did Khamenei himself keep the meeting on the compound? Or did Israel plant someone for this as well? Khamenei, who was doing this meeting, there was a man in this meeting, Irani Quds Force General, Ismail Qaani. He says that, wherever he went before, there were similar attacks.

Every time in an attack, the same thing happens, he is saved alone. Nine times before, he was saved in a similar attack. He is also alleged, that he met Mossad. But the most surprising thing, was that, when these things, were going on, that he is with Mossad.

Mossad itself tweeted on twitter and gave the clarification that, Qaani is not our spy. When the attack was complete, Iranian agencies have arrested Ismail Qaani. And when all the attack was completed the time and date of Khamenei's funeral had to be changed His body was kept in Deep-Freeze in compulsion. Because Trump wasn't to be trusted.
