Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei could flee to Russia should the situation in his country continue to spiral out of control, according to Radio Netherlands.
The media organization reports that the Supreme National Security
Council ordered a check-up Sunday of the jet on standby to evacuate
Khamenei and his family should the need arise.
If Khamenei does depart the country, it would be reminiscent of an
historic event in Iranian history: Jan. 16, 1979, when the Iranian
Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi fled Iran following an increase in violent protests. The anniversary of that event is coming up soon.
The plane check is already being viewed by some as an indication that Khamenei will in fact leave Iran, as protests continue.
This is a developing story.
