The Dictator’s Escape Blueprint Exposed

A British intelligence report disclosed by The Times on January 5, 2026, revealed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has crafted a detailed contingency plan to flee Iran for Moscow. The scheme involves evacuating up to 20 close associates, family members, and his son Mojtaba if security forces defect or fail to suppress intensifying protests. This “Plan B” includes pre-positioned assets abroad and follows the exact playbook used by Syria’s Bashar al-Assad in his December 2024 escape to Russia.

The intelligence files describe Khamenei as increasingly “paranoid” and “weaker mentally and physically” following Iran’s devastating 12-day war with Israel in 2025. During that conflict, the Supreme Leader spent extended periods hiding in underground bunkers while Israeli strikes dismantled Iran’s proxy network across the Middle East. Western psychological profiles portray him as obsessed with survival despite maintaining his ideological “divine mission” against Israel and the West.

Economic Fury Drives Unprecedented Unrest

Current protests erupted in late December 2025, spreading to multiple cities including the religious center of Qom. Unlike previous uprisings focused on social freedoms, these demonstrations center on economic devastation and rejection of foreign military adventures. Protesters chant “No to Gaza, no to Lebanon, I’d give my life for Iran only,” directly challenging the regime’s costly proxy wars that diverted resources from domestic needs during record inflation.

The timing proves particularly damaging for Khamenei’s legitimacy. Iran’s “axis of resistance” lies in ruins following the 2025 Israel-Iran conflict that destroyed Hamas, crippled Hezbollah, and exposed the regime’s military weakness. Citizens now openly question why billions flowed to foreign militias while they suffered under crushing economic sanctions and mismanagement. Security forces have responded with live ammunition and tear gas, but protesters appear to have “broken the fear barrier” that previously contained dissent.

Moscow Beckons as the Only Sanctuary

Beni Sabti, a former Israeli intelligence official and regime defector, explains why Russia represents Khamenei’s sole escape option. Putin’s Moscow offers cultural affinity, ideological alignment, and proven willingness to shelter fleeing dictators. The Supreme Leader reportedly admires Putin’s authoritarian methods and anti-Western stance, viewing Russia as a natural ally against American and Israeli influence in the Middle East.

The escape plan reveals the regime’s elite hypocrisy in stark detail. While ordinary Iranians face poverty and repression, top officials have systematically moved assets overseas. Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, maintains family members in Dubai, Canada, and the United States. Khamenei himself controls an estimated $95 billion through the Setad conglomerate, much of it likely positioned for quick transfer if the regime collapses.
