Iran’s supreme leader reportedly has devised a back-up plan to flee to Moscow, as the uprising against the government intensifies and spreads across the country
Iran’s supreme leader is preparing for the possible collapse of the Islamic regime, with plans to flee the country for Russia with a group of relatives and aides in the event that the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps either fails to crush the ongoing uprising or deserts, according to an intelligence report.
On Sunday, The Times published details from the report, including information on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “plan B” in the event that the IRGC turns on the regime or is unable to maintain control.
In the event the uprising is successful, the 86-year-old Shi’ite cleric plans to escape Iran with a group of around 20 relatives and aides.
