Khamenei has few options for asylum and no reason to leave As Iran responds militarily to the United States’s bombing of its nuclear facilities, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remains out of sight and closely guarded. Officials in Israel have asserted for days that the supreme leader is on the cusp of fleeing the embattled Islamic Republic. Khamenei‘s camp maintains that he has no such plans, as he refuses to leave Iran and is protected by a security gaggle of specially trained guards. Khamenei’s fleeing of Iran would be the best outcome for those in Israel seeking to scrap the Islamic Republic and set up a more friendly government with the West. However, abandoning the country would be a shocking betrayal that the devout cleric will unlikely make. ”Khamenei is a true believer in the theocratic values of the Islamic Republic,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu, the Iran Program senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “He has consistently prioritized its survival over the survival of anyone else, including himself.” It was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who instigated the media speculation about Iranian leaders seeking to leave during a speech the day after Operation Rising Lion took place.
