Satellite Imagery Confirms Khamenei's Tehran Compound Completely Destroyed in Israeli Strike

Satellite imagery published by The New York Times and verified by Airbus Defense confirmed that Supreme Leader Khamenei's palace compound in central Tehran was completely destroyed, with smoldering rubble visible where the building once stood. Iranian state television had earlier said Khamenei was at his compound when the initial attack began and was 'carrying out his assigned duties at his workplace at the moment of martyrdom.' The destruction of the compound provided the first visual confirmation of the scale of the strike on the supreme leader's official residence.
