A new intelligence report suggests Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is quietly preparing a contingency plan to flee the country if the Islamic Republic collapses under mounting internal pressure. According to details published by The Times, the 86-year-old cleric has mapped out a “plan B” involving an escape to Russia with roughly 20 close relatives and aides should the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps fail to suppress the growing uprising—or turn on the regime altogether. The report says the plan would include his son and chosen successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, signaling that even Iran’s top leadership is bracing for the unthinkable.

Former Israeli intelligence officer Beni Sabti said Moscow would be the clear destination, noting Khamenei’s long-standing admiration for Vladimir Putin. Such a move would mirror the recent flight of Bashar al-Assad, who was evacuated to Russia after losing power in Syria. The report adds that Khamenei’s inner circle is already securing assets and cash abroad as protests intensify and U.S. pressure mounts. President Donald Trump reiterated warnings that Iran would face severe consequences if protesters continue to be killed—raising the stakes as Iran’s leadership quietly prepares an exit while the streets grow louder.
