Satellite imagery shows reported damage at Khamenei’s Tehran compound after coordinated strikes.
New satellite imagery reviewed by The New York Times appears to show significant damage at the residential compound of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following reported coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel. The images, dated February 28, show black smoke rising from the Tehran complex and visible structural damage to multiple buildings within the premises.
According to the report, the strikes were part of a broader wave of attacks across Iran, with explosions also reported in several other cities. The satellite visuals suggest the compound sustained direct hits, though the extent of the damage and potential casualties has not been independently confirmed. Iranian authorities have yet to issue a detailed official assessment of the site.
Media reports indicate that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was moved to an undisclosed location following the strikes, though there has been no formal confirmation from Iranian officials. The developments come amid sharply escalating tensions in the region, with both military and political stakes rising after the reported joint operation.
