00:00Inside Washington, alarm bells are quietly ringing.
00:22President Donald J. Trump has received multiple intelligence briefings
00:27suggesting Iran's ruling regime is weakening,
00:30possibly to its most fragile point since the Shah was overthrown in 1979.
00:37According to people familiar with the reports, who spoke to The New York Times,
00:41the foundations of the Islamic Republic are cracking, and the leadership knows it.
00:47Iran's government and military leadership are now preparing for the unthinkable.
00:52Successors have been quietly appointed in case senior figures are killed in an attack,
00:58a rare contingency plan that signals something the regime never admits publicly — fear at the very top.
01:05When a system built on absolute control begins planning for decapitation,
01:10it suggests leaders are no longer confident they will survive what comes next.
01:15According to multiple sources, Iran's supreme leader has taken an extraordinary step.
01:22Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly gone underground, relocating to a fortified tunnel
01:28complex in Tehran after security chiefs assessed that a U.S. strike is no longer theoretical.
01:35The move is designed for wartime survival, but symbolically it marks a leader retreating
01:41from public authority into physical hiding. Behind the scenes, power is quietly shifting.
01:48According to Iran International, day-to-day control of the supreme leader's office has
01:53been handed to Khamenei's son, Masoud Khamenei. He is now acting as the primary conduit between
02:00Iran's leadership and executive branches. In a system built on permanence, such a transfer does
02:07not signal stability, it signals concern about continuity. Those fears are intensifying as
02:14Washington sends unmistakable signals. President Trump has confirmed that a U.S. armada is moving
02:20toward Iran, warning Tehran over the killing of protesters and any attempt to revive its nuclear
02:27program. The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and free destroyers are now operating in the Indian
02:34ocean, bringing nearly 5,700 additional U.S. personnel into the region. The military posture continues to
02:42harden. F-15E strike eagles are active across the Middle East, while U.S. cargo aircraft move equipment
02:50into forward bases. The United Kingdom has deployed Typhoon fighter jets to Qatar, and U.S. Patriot and THAAD
02:58missile defenses remain on high alert. The buildup mirrors the posture seen last year before strikes
03:05on Iranian nuclear facilities, moves officials insist are defensive. All of this unfolds as Iran faces its
03:13most severe internal unrest in decades. Protests driven by economic collapse and fury at clerical rule
03:21have swept the country. Activists say more than 5,000 people have been killed and over 27,000 detained.
03:29The regime has responded with mass arrests, internet blackouts, and threats of execution,
03:35while Trump openly calls for an end to Khomeini's 37-year rule. Iran's supreme leader is underground,
03:44his authority is fragmenting, and U.S. warships are closing in.
03:48All sides insist they want to avoid war, but history shows collapse often begins when leaders
03:54believe survival is no longer guaranteed. Whether this is brinksmanship or the beginning of the end,
04:01one thing is clear, the Khomeini regime is under siege, from outside, from within, and perhaps from time itself.
