Iran's Supreme Leader moved to secure location after Hezbollah chief reportedly killed: Report
New Delhi: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been moved to a secure location within the country following the reported killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a targeted airstrike by Israel in southern Beirut. The move comes amid heightened tensions and security concerns in the region.
According to reports, Khamenei was transferred to a safer place as a precautionary measure after an emergency meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which he convened on Friday. The decision was made after Israel announced that it had eliminated Nasrallah during an airstrike on the group's underground headquarters in the Hezbollah-controlled suburb of Dahiyeh.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the strike targeted the underground base where senior Hezbollah leaders were advancing activities against Israel. “Hassan Nasrallah will no longer be able to terrorize the world," the IDF stated on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).
In the wake of Nasrallah’s death, Israeli forces have continued airstrikes in Dahiyeh and other parts of Lebanon. Israel also announced that it had eliminated Muhammad Ali Ismail, the Commander of Hezbollah's Missile Unit in southern Lebanon, along with his deputy Hussein Ahmad Ismail, in a separate airstrike.
These developments come shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he vowed to "degrade Hezbollah" until Israel's security objectives along the Lebanon border are achieved.
Israel’s latest offensive has targeted Hezbollah’s top leadership, as well as its strategic missile units. The group is yet to issue a statement confirming Nasrallah’s death, who led the Iran-backed group for 32 years.
With tensions rising in the region, Iran is reportedly in constant contact with Hezbollah and other allied groups to decide on the next course of action.
