A few minutes before martyrdom…
This is the last image captured by the CCTV camera at the office of the martyred Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

Was he not in a bunker?
no, they actually had even stated that he would not be in hiding. he was martyred at home with his family. i think it makes sense too, i mean he was in his 80’s and had spent his life looking forward to one day giving his life for the Islamic Republic, and this certainly sends a fundamentally stabilizing and unifying message to the people.
He should have sent his family and guards away tbh
with peace and love i don’t think my amerikkkan ass has any right to suggest what any Iranian should or should not do, did or did not choose for themselves. however, i have to assume that they must have been aware of the risk. there is such a notion as duty that often transcends an individual’s self-interest.
It makes sense to me that someone could have a number of reasons for taking the risk, but at least one of the martyred family members was a young child, right? Or did she just happen to die at around the same time with all the bombing going on?
that’s not a detail i’m familiar with.
True but still if I was expecting the Great Satan to try and blow me up I’d tell my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to clear out at least and get them into a bunker
sure, but that’s kind of the point i’m making? that i don’t think it’s actually appropriate to pretend like i can put myself into that decision making process, as i sit here in the bowels of the great satan that murdered him?
Sending away the guards would be just asking for Israel to send some agent they have to kill him on the pretext of “The Iranian people rising up!” or something asinine like that.
that’s a great point

It says he was in his office. People have been saying that he wanted to be martyred, so he was not hiding. PressTV is a public international news station in Iran.
Damn, that’s bittersweet, here I thought he was in hiding when he was killed.
He chose to be martyred and the empire delivered the gift to him. It’s believed he had a terminal cancer diagnosis. Legendary chess.
Hits close to home with me and my dad’s cancer. Sometimes people just want to go out on their own terms and I get that.
He is a cancer survivor, maybe it came back?
