24. Iranian Supreme Leader's office reportedly hit in strikes
Sat Feb 28, 2026, 06:42 AM
Saturday
Numerous explosions have been heard in Tehran and number of cities across Iran.

The office of Iran’s Supreme Leader and the presidential office in Tehran were also reportedly targeted.

Military sites have been targeted in Kermanshah, Qum, Isfahan, Tabriz, Karaj and as well as at Iranian naval facilities in Kenarak in the south of the country. A video we have received from the small city of Kamyaran in Kurdish region, shows an IRGC base is bombed.

There are images from Tehran shows that a residence in Narmak neighbourhood of Tehran, where former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lives, has been hit. It is not clear whether the former president is hurt.

One clip, filmed at a busy intersection, shows traffic slowing as drivers and pedestrians look up at the sky. In the footage, one person can be heard saying: "They hit it hard. Where did they hit? They’re saying it’s Khamenei’s residence."

We have located this video within a kilometre of Leadership House, the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei. It’s not clear from the video angle if it was a direct hit on the building.

Another verified photo from the same area shows thick, dark columns of smoke rising above residential buildings and small grocery shops. There are also reports of strikes elsewhere in the country.
