Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei arranged a contingency plan to leave Tehran for Moscow, The Times reported.
The newspaper cited an intelligence assessment that outlines preparations for Khamenei to depart with a small group of aides and relatives should unrest deepen. The report pointed to Khamenei's health concerns, his isolation during recent demonstrations and the risk that loyalty within Iran's security forces could weaken.
According to the report, the plan includes assets already placed abroad and relies on the precedent set by former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The protests in Iran led United States President Donald Trump to warn that Washington was ready to act in case authorities killed demonstrators.
