Even Trump doubted US missile superiority, so Washington lied to Khamenei before the fatal blow?

Fresh revelations surrounding the February 28 strikes on Iran have triggered new accusations inside Tehran that U.S. diplomacy was used as cover before military action. Reports claim Ali Khamenei’s family remained inside the supreme leader’s compound because senior Iranian officials believed Washington had effectively assured Tehran that no attack was imminent while negotiations continued. Iranian insiders say confidence in ongoing diplomacy prevented emergency security relocations before the strikes hit. The disclosures reportedly involve assessments linked to Mojtaba Khamenei’s father-in-law, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel. Since the attacks, reports claim Mojtaba’s children have been moved to their maternal grandfather’s residence, while Tehran increasingly argues that repeated “betrayals” prove the United States cannot be trusted in negotiations.
