Wishful Thinking Or Reality? "Khamenei Fleeing To Russia As Tehran Collapses"
Internet ^ | 6/16/25 | Self

Posted on 06/16/2025 11:40:20 AM PDT by BTerclinger

Just saw a utube video from an Iranian expat in London with this headline "Khamenei Fleeing To Russia As Tehran Collapses"

Link to video below

Searched that headline in a browser and came up with numerous articles from today with similar focus. As of this posting nothing similar in Jerusalem Post or Times of Israel (both Center-Left), or Arutz Sheva (religious Right) Pick your poison.

YMMV.

it may sound silly but its in numerous Western media, as my headline describes.

Also decapitating the state media is usually part of the plan of regime change.

Why would Russia want these old turbans issuing their fatwas from Russia?

No winning there.

You’re speaking of Qatar? I think they’re #3 after Russia and Iran.

That was when Assad still ruled. They didn't die willingly for Putin, just like the Russian soldiers are not dying willingly for Putin in Ukraine.

In the world of natgas, Russia is the big Kahuna at #1. Iran and Qatar are 2 and 3, and they share the enormous gas field under the Persian gulf that defines that.

As for Khameini, per the Iran constitution the leader of the Shiite religion is head of state (like King George). Khameini is 86 yrs old. The Constitution specifies he is that leader for life, but if he declares himself incapacitated then obviously the #2 guy in the Shiite religion would take over the Supreme Leader post, with the same Shiite policies.

There is SO MUCH PROPAGANDA FLOATING AROUND.

Maybe.

In 2005 I encountered a bus of Iranian clerics in southern Iraq (Shiite area). Probably visiting one of the Shiite shrines. They were horrified and recoiled when they saw our vehicle pull up next to them -in their clean, white robes. I was greatly impressed with their shrinking violet routine. They didn’t strike me as ppl willing to fight for anything. Bunch of feted pansies imo.

It could be true and false/misleading -
there could be a high value, subterranean shelter for top officials ,
but under the russian embassy. Technically Russian territory.

Yes, they were amusing. And entirely inaccurate.

It’s not hard to issue fatwahs from behind a desk, surrounded with guards.

This is from a Kazakstan media outlet today:

"According to Iran International, citing its sources, Tehran officials are in talks with Russian authorities about a contingency plan to evacuate Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Orda.kz reports.

The negotiations are reportedly being led by the deputy chief of Khamenei’s office. Allegedly, Ali Asghar Hejazi received assurances from a senior Russian official that, in the event of a “sudden deterioration of the situation,” Moscow would be ready to arrange a safe evacuation route for Khamenei and his family."

There’s at least one at the Bong Museum in Superior, Wisconsin. Look it up!
