JAKARTA - The level of secrecy surrounding the existence of the Supreme Leader of Iran Mojtaba Khamenei is still applied considering that the US-Israel is carrying out the "decapitation" war strategy.
However, Khamenei's limited access to the outside world is said to be a stumbling block in Iran-US negotiations.
According to an exclusive report by CBS News citing US officials who know the intelligence, messages in and out of Khamenei rely on a network of couriers to prevent a US-Israeli targeted attack.
The report claims that the communication pattern is a problem within the Iranian leadership and is also a major obstacle in negotiations between Iranian officials and the Donald Trump Administration.
US officials told CBS that when the peace negotiation proposal was sent to Iran, there was a significant delay before the response was finally received again, because the messages would first go through intermediaries to be delivered to the supreme leader.
According to CBS, Iran's leadership has adopted extreme security measures after the US-Israeli attack eliminated Iran's top leadership during 'Operation Epic Fury'.
The report also claimed that most senior Iranian officials spent weeks inside bunkers to avoid direct contact and limit communication unless necessary.
The report added that even senior Iranian officials did not know the exact whereabouts of the supreme leader or did not have a direct line of communication with him.
The message was delivered to Khamenei through a trusted courier who was strategically to hide the location of the supreme leader.
Khamenei was also reported to have only given general guidance on what issues could be negotiated and which remained off-limits.
