Iran: Reports of Potential US Attack, Khamenei in Bunker

Iranian officials warn of "total war" in the event of a US attack. According to Iran International, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been moved to a bunker in Tehran amid heightened concerns about a potential US strike.

The report states that the bunker is fortified and has a system of "interconnected tunnels." Meanwhile, his son, Masoud Khamenei, has reportedly taken over the daily operations of his father's office.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that any attack would be treated as a "total war." Iranian armed forces are on high alert as a US aircraft carrier and three destroyers head to the region.

According to US officials, the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group are in the Indian Ocean. The Lincoln is accompanied by the destroyers USS Spruance, USS Michael Murphy, and USS Frank E. Petersen Jr.

Several airlines, including Lufthansa, Air France, Sky, and KLM, have suspended routes to Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia due to security concerns.
