Former supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s underground bunker complex included a blast-resistant room and escape tunnels beneath central Tehran, Iran International reported on Thursday, citing architectural plans received from an informed source.
The documents’ authenticity were also confirmed by a security source, the outlet said.
According to Iran International, the plans show the complex, known as Habib Ebrahimi, as situated next to Khamenei’s official residence.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reportedly began construction of the site in 2009 with Khamenei's approval, financing the project through the IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Construction Headquarters.
According to the plans, the main entrance was large enough to allow cars inside, and allow them to reach a depth of 30 meters underground.
