Is Iran preparing for a major 'war' decision? Khamenei leaves bunker for unannounced mosque visit

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has made an unannounced pilgrimage to the holy city of Qom, where state-linked videos and posts show him praying at the Jamkaran Mosque, a shrine closely associated with Shiite messianic beliefs and national “steadfastness” in times of crisis. Commentators note that Khamenei has historically coupled visits to such symbolic sites with moments of major strategic decision-making, and his latest trip comes just as US President Donald Trump publicly threatens “major destruction” if Tehran refuses tighter limits on its nuclear and missile programs.
