Iran shocker: Mojtaba Khamenei uses a courier service to communicate in his secret bunker?

Mon, 25 May 2026 21:25:12 +0530

A massive diplomatic breakdown is happening behind the scenes, and the reason sounds like a movie script.According to an explosive new US Intelligence assessment reported by CBS News, Iran`s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has gone completely underground. Following injuries sustained during the devastating airstrikes of Operation Epic Fury, Khamenei has abandoned all digital communications—no cell phones, no emails, no satellite links—to evade US and Israeli surveillance tracking. Instead, he is running the country entirely via a primitive, offline network of human couriers delivering handwritten letters on motorbikes. The twist? The secrecy is so extreme that even top-ranking Iranian negotiators trying to work out a peace framework with the Donald Trump administration have absolutely no idea where their own leader is located. This unprecedented communication latency is causing massive delays, leaving critical terms regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and crucial nuclear agreements completely deadlocked
