Don't understand why the military heirachy are hiding with their families. You're in the military, you're at war and that makes you a prime decapitation target. Given Israel's tactic of going for the heirachy the last place you should be is with your family. You should be far, far away from them.
Sorry but the naivety amongst the Iranian heriachy is getting their own families needlessly killed. It's mind baffling.
Who was the last religious leader killed by both Jews and the Roman Empire? Jesus?
Okay, even as an atheist, I know that in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD, the third Imam Hussein died in battle with the Umayyad dynasty, sacrificing his entire family. From then on, in Shia values, martyrdom is the highest form of resistance when facing secular power.
At this moment, physical destruction is not the end, but a higher-level victory. Khamenei has a variety of incurable diseases, such as pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. The assassinations in the United States and Israel actually enabled him to live forever.
I have a saying, the living Khamenei may not be a hardliner, but the dead Khamenei is definitely a hardliner.
After his death, any politician who wants to inherit the support of Khamenei will never be able to compromise with Israel and the United States. This is one of the 36 strategies in Sun Tzu's Art of War, called "公子献头". It means giving my head to you.
