Tracking Iran’s New Supreme Leader: From Tehran Bunker to ‘Rat Hole’ Hideout

On March 6, 2026, Israel destroyed the main underground bunker beneath Iran’s leadership compound. Soon after, the new Supreme Leader vanished and cut all electronic communications to evade intelligence detection. Officials admit they have no clear insight into his current location. His only public presence since the strike was a portrait at a political rally in early March. Intelligence sources clash over his status. Some claim he is receiving medical treatment in Russia for February injuries. Others insist he is hiding in a remote Iranian underground hideout, often referred to as a ‘rat hole.’ These conflicting reports make it difficult for Israeli and U.S. agencies to confirm his whereabouts.
