Khamenei Prepares to Flee to Russia: Intelligence Unveils Plan in Case of Coup.

According to ТСН: Amid protests in Iran, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reportedly developed a secret evacuation plan to Russia in case he loses control over security forces. According to intelligence sources, the 86-year-old ayatollah has already prepared cash and real estate abroad for himself and his relatives.

The report states that Khamenei is considering leaving Tehran with a close entourage of up to twenty people, including relatives, if it becomes clear that the army and security services, deployed to suppress the protests, may turn against him or stop obeying his orders.

“Plan B” involves Khamenei and his closest allies and family fleeing, including his son and designated heir Mojtaba,” the intelligence source noted.

Details of Khamenei's Escape Plan to Moscow

Former Israeli intelligence officer Beni Sabti, who worked twice in intelligence after fleeing Iran, claims that Khamenei's primary target in case of escape will be Moscow, as “he has no other place to go.”

According to Sabti, Khamenei is also “fascinated by Putin, and Iranian culture is more similar to Russian.”

This plan is partly based on the experience of Khamenei's ally, former Syrian President Bashar Assad, who left Damascus in December 2024, flying to Moscow.

“They have developed an exit route from Tehran in case they feel the need to flee,” adds the source.

Preparation includes “accumulating assets, real estate abroad, and cash to ensure a safe departure.”

Khamenei is known to control a wide range of assets, a significant portion concentrated in the Setad organization, one of the most influential in Iran. According to a 2013 Reuters investigation, the total value of these assets was approximately 95 billion dollars.

Many of his closest associates, including the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Larijani, have relatives who already live abroad, notably in the USA, Canada, and Dubai.

Under What Circumstances Will Khamenei Activate His Escape Plan?

According to sources, Khamenei's escape plan will only be activated if he believes that the security forces are no longer carrying out his orders. Desertion or defecting is extremely difficult, as the president's regime closely monitors the loyalty of security personnel.

A Western intelligence document notes that after last year's war with Israel, Khamenei has become “weaker psychologically and physically.” He rarely appears in public and avoids communication during protests.

Analysts describe the ayatollah as a “paranoid” leader, which has become the basis for his decision to leave the country in case of a threat of betrayal by the security forces.

“On one hand, he is deeply ideologically motivated; on the other, he is pragmatic in his assessments,” the evaluation notes.

Protests in Iran, triggered by an economic crisis, have led to bloody clashes with the police and are the largest in three years. Amid the unrest, the US Ambassador to the UN, Michael Woods, expressed support for the Iranian people in their demands for freedom.

Thus, the situation in Iran remains tense, and Khamenei's actions hold even greater weight in the context of the protests. His evacuation plan indicates the elite's concerns about potential changes in power and further escalation of protest sentiments among the population.
