The CIA zeroed in on the location of the target: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, Iran’s supreme leader. The US intelligence agency had been trailing Khamenei for months, identifying his locations and patterns. A confirmation of Khamenei’s conferral with his top advisers put the Israeli-US air and naval operation against Tehran into motion, reported Reuters citing sources. Khamenei had originally been expected to hold the meeting on Saturday evening in Tehran, a US source told the news agency.
