In a groundbreaking operation that has potentially sealed the fate of the US-Israel-Iran war, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has eradicated the secret underground bunker of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, located deep beneath Tehran’s government district. Leveraging years of meticulous intelligence gathering by the elite Units 8200 (signals intelligence) and 9900 (visual and geospatial intelligence), the IDF executed a precision strike on March 6, 2026, deploying approximately 50 fighter jets to drop over 100 munitions on the fortified complex. The bunker, originally built for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and spanning multiple city blocks, was described by the IDF as an “impenetrable” wartime command center still in use by senior regime figures, including Mojtaba after his ascension.
The strike, occurring just days after Mojtaba Khamenei’s appointment on March 8 following his father’s death in initial US-Israeli airstrikes, has led to reports of his elimination along with key IRGC commanders. Eyewitnesses in Tehran reported mᴀssive explosions shaking the city center, with thick smoke and fires illuminating the night sky, reminiscent of apocalyptic scenes.
Iranian state media blacked out shortly after, amid widespread power outages and communication disruptions, signaling a near-total collapse of regime control.
Units 8200 and 9900’s role was pivotal: Unit 8200 hacked into Iranian communications to track movements and disrupt defenses, while Unit 9900 used satellite imagery to map the bunker’s hidden entrances, ventilation systems, and structural weaknesses. This intelligence fusion enabled the IAF’s F-35 stealth jets to penetrate Iranian airspace undetected and deliver bunker-busting bombs with pinpoint accuracy
The operation echoes historical precedents like the 1981 Osirak raid but on a far grander scale, showcasing Israel’s cyber and aerial dominance.
As of 08:14 AM on March 12, 2026 (local time in Ho Chi Minh City), the conflict, now in its 14th day, shows signs of Iran’s complete unraveling. Protests have erupted in cities like Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz, with IRGC units reportedly defecting or surrendering. Iranian proxies, including Hezbollah and the Houthis, have ceased operations, and naval remnants in the Indian Ocean are in disarray following US strikes. US President Trump proclaimed the bunker destruction a “total victory,” noting that Iran’s military is “decimated,” while Israeli officials prepare for possible regime change scenarios.
Global repercussions are swift: Oil prices have plummeted amid expectations of stabilized supplies, and UN calls for ceasefire intensify as humanitarian aid rushes to Iran amid blackouts and infrastructure failures. With the Supreme Leader’s command hub gone, Iran’s theocratic regime faces its gravest crisis, potentially leading to internal uprisings or external interventions. This historic intelligence triumph by Units 8200 and 9900 may well mark the end of the Islamic Republic as we know it.
