Iran has released footage showing the damage to the residence of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for the first time, offering a rare glimpse of the destruction caused during the recent US-Israel military campaign against the country.

Khamenei was not at the residence
According to reports, Ayatollah Khamenei was not present at the residence when it was struck.
Iranian officials have not revealed his exact location during the conflict, though the Supreme Leader has since made several public appearances and televised addresses following the ceasefire.
Conflict left key sites damaged
The release of the footage comes after weeks of intense military exchanges between Iran, Israel and the United States, during which several strategic military, nuclear and government-linked sites were targeted.
The conflict resulted in significant damage to infrastructure across Iran and raised fears of a wider regional war before a temporary ceasefire was announced.
Tensions remain high
Despite the ceasefire, tensions between Tehran, Washington and Tel Aviv remain elevated, with both sides continuing to exchange strong rhetoric.
The release of the footage is being viewed as part of Iran’s effort to highlight the scale of destruction caused by the conflict while reinforcing its narrative surrounding the recent hostilities.
The latest visuals come as diplomatic efforts continue to prevent a fresh escalation in the Middle East, even as military preparedness remains high across the region.
