Got this off Bluesky from Mark Chadbourn, a NatSec source I trust. He’s got his settings so his posts won’t show if a user isn’t online and following him so this is just a copy/paste

“The top aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Ali Asghar Hejazi, is negotiating with Russia for a possible escape route for regime leaders if Iran’s situation worsens, Iran International reports.

Moscow has promised a secure evacuation.”

Those fuckers can go stay with Assad in Russia 😈
