Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has a back-up plan to flee the country should his security forces fail to suppress protests or desert, according to an intelligence report shared with The Times.
Khamenei, 86, plans to escape Tehran with a close circle of up to 20 aides and family, should he see that the army and security called on to quell the unrest are deserting, defecting or failing to follow orders.
“The ‘plan B’ is for Khamenei and his very close circle of associates and family, including his son and nominated heir apparent, Mojtaba,” an intelligence source told The Times.
Beni Sabti, who served for decades in Israeli intelligence after fleeing the regime eight years after the Islamic revolution, told The Times that Khamenei would flee to Moscow as “there is no other place for him”.
Khamenei also “admires Putin, while the Iranian culture is more similar to the Russian culture”.

He said he’s just going there for the weather. He’ll bring mittens.

Even 2 weeks later Trump seemed to regret it, but it was too late:
As they board a plane destination US. Wouldn’t doubt such a plan is underway by US and Israel. Be a great move.
