AI Overview
Based on reports from early 2026, Russian President Vladimir Putin intensified his personal security and ordered increased protection for high-ranking officials following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026, in a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike.Security Increases: Following the assassination of Khamenei and other Iranian officials, Putin instructed the FSB and law enforcement to step up protection for defense ministry personnel and state officials, citing a surge in attacks and assassination threats.
Response to Threat: Analysts suggested that the killing of a senior ally like Khamenei—in a highly coordinated decapitation strike—hit “where it hurts” for Putin, raising fears that he could be targeted next.
Repressive Measures: Putin also ratcheted up security by strengthening the role of the Rosgvardia (National Guard) and allowing private firms to use firearms to protect critical infrastructure.
Condemnation of Strike: Putin denounced the killing of Khamenei as “murder” and a “cynical violation” of international law, while simultaneously pledging support to the new Iranian leadership, Mojtaba Khamenei. [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]The killing of Ayatollah Khamenei occurred as part of a 2026 Iran war, during which Israel and the U.S. carried out airstrikes against high-ranking Iranian officials. [1]
