00:00Inside Washington, alarm bells are quietly ringing.
00:23President Donald J. Trump has received multiple intelligence briefings suggesting Iran's
00:28ruling regime is weakening, possibly to its most fragile point since the Shah was overthrown
00:34in 1979.
00:37According to people familiar with the reports, who spoke to the New York Times, the foundations
00:42of the Islamic Republic are cracking, and the leadership knows it.
00:47Iran's government and military leadership are now preparing for the unthinkable.
00:53Successors 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
01:04at the very top.
01:06When a system built on absolute control begins planning for decapitation, it suggests leaders
01:12are no longer confident they will survive what comes next.
01:17According 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 complex in
01:29Tehran after security chiefs assessed that a US strike is no longer theoretical.
01:36The move is designed for wartime survival, but symbolically it marks a leader retreating
01:41from public authority into physical hiding.
01:45Behind 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.
01:57He is now acting as the primary conduit between Iran's leadership and executive branches.
02:03In a system built on permanence, such a transfer does not signal stability.
02:08It signals concern about continuity.
02:11Those fears are intensifying as Washington sends unmistakable signals.
02:17President Trump has confirmed that a US armada is moving toward Iran, warning Tehran over
02:23the killing of protesters and any attempt to revive its nuclear program.
02:28The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and free destroyers are now operating in the Indian
02:34ocean, bringing nearly 5,700 additional US personnel into the region.
02:40The military posture continues to harden.
02:44F-15E strike eagles are active across the Middle East, while US cargo aircraft move equipment
02:50into forward bases.
02:52The United Kingdom has deployed Typhoon fighter jets to Qatar, and US Patriot and THAAD missile
02:58defenses remain on high alert.
03:01The buildup mirrors the posture seen last year before strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities,
03:07moves officials insist are defensive.
03:11All of this unfolds as Iran faces its most severe internal unrest in decades.
03:17Protests driven by economic collapse and fury at clerical rule have swept the country.
03:24Activists say more than 5,000 people have been killed and over 27,000 detained.
03:30The regime has responded with mass arrests, internet blackouts, and threats of execution, while
03:36Trump openly calls for an end to Khomeini's 37-year rule.
03:41Iran's supreme leader is underground, his authority is fragmenting, and US 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.
03:58Whether this is brinksmanship or the beginning of the end, one thing is clear, the Khomeini
04:03regime is under siege, from outside, from within, and perhaps from time itself.
04:24So the fighting back is very heavy.
