The American secret services would have information about the location of the Iranian supreme leader.

According to American intelligence services, Mojtaba Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, is believed to be in a secret, hard-to-access location, with limited communication with the outside world.

The information suggests that messages to Khamenei are transmitted through a complex network of messengers, leading to significant delays in the reactions of Iranian officials to U.S. proposals for a potential peace agreement. Two officials stated that Iranian leaders spend weeks in bunkers, avoiding communication except in emergencies.

This situation has been described as frustrating, and officials feel exasperated by the communication difficulties. Khamenei took over the leadership of Iran after the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, following a joint U.S.-Israel attack, and has not made public appearances since his appointment, communicating through messages read by state television.
