Yesterday…..
A major mystery over the past few days has been the exact location where regime officials are giving interviews to state TV. The Iranian account @Merida2NAJ accurately identified the site as the Mashhad branch of the regime's Foreign Ministry.
The regime's top brass seems to have decamped to the distant city of Mashhad, as far away from the US bases and carriers—and from Israel—as you can get without actually fleeing to Afghanistan. They have abandoned the capital.
Today….
Iranian opposition channel Mamlekate reported explosions last night in Mashhad. The city has seen very few air raids so far - and regime officials are speculated to be there.
