DUBAI, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been transferred to a secure location inside the country with heightened security measures in place, two regional officials briefed by Tehran told Reuters.

The sources said Iran was in constant contact with Lebanon's Hezbollah and other regional proxy groups to determine the next step after Israel announced that it had killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on south Beirut on Friday.

1. And he's not allowed to use any electronic communications equipment.

Not that the geezer knows what those things are.

His best hope is that all those promised virgins are waiting for his royal presence.

2. Middle East War

This might be this election's October surprise.

4. How so?

8. Here's how

1. Middle East war Israel vs. Iran/Syria
2. Biden admin forced to declare full support of Israel
3. Pro Palestinian/anti-Israel supporters protest violently(?)
4. Biden admin either responds forcefully or mildly
5. Pro Palestinian voters sit out/vote against Harris in battleground states (Michigan, others) in protest
6. Harris loses enough votes at the margins to lose battleground states

Another October surprise might be seriously aggressive moves by Putin in Ukraine. Either or both scenarios would put enormous pressure on the Biden administration to respond, upsetting many voters no matter what that response might be. And Trump would be there braying constantly how only he can resolve such conflicts.

Netanyahu is not adverse to creating a situation that would adversely affect the Biden administration and promote Trump's candidacy, and neither is Putin.

5. Interesting. Evidence that Iran is very worried about what Israel might do.

6. As they should be,

Iran has been financing these terrorists for decades and are now reaping what they sew.

7. Why would the death of a terrorist leader

affect the security of the lead of Iran...?

9. Personally I think

that its the Houthi and Yemen who should be worried they are next .

The IDF reported that a surface-to-surface missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the Arrow defense system outside Israeli territory on Saturday, triggering air raid sirens across central Israel.

This incident follows another missile launch from Yemen on Thursday night, which also set off sirens in central Israel.
Earlier this month, a Houthi missile targeting central Israel was "partially intercepted," with fragments of its warhead exploding near Ben Gurion Airport.

Israel did not respond to that attack, leading to concerns about eroding deterrence. This contrasted with Israel’s previous response when the Air Force struck the port of Hodeidah in Yemen after a deadly drone attack on Tel Aviv in July that killed one person and injured ten others.
