Iran’s Supreme Leader Linked to Luxury Apartments Overlooking Israeli Embassy in London

(SeaPRwire) –   Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been connected to two high-end apartments with a view of the Israeli Embassy in London—a site security experts said could enable “permanent surveillance,” according to several reports.

The million-dollar Kensington properties are adjacent to the prominent embassy compound and were identified by UK media, drawing on findings from a yearlong investigation into Khamenei’s possible overseas assets.

On March 5, The Times of London reported that one building “is next to the Israeli Embassy on Palace Green,” placing the residences extremely close to one of Israel’s most sensitive diplomatic locations.

These revelations stem from a Bloomberg investigation alleging Khamenei’s portfolio may span multiple countries, including high-value London real estate totaling around $138 million and assets in Europe and the Gulf.

UK media reported the two London apartments were acquired in 2014 and 2016 through intermediaries, occupying upper floors of the building and offering a direct view of the rear of the Israeli Embassy compound.

A terrorism specialist quoted in reports said the positioning effectively means “Iran owns the view into the back of the Israeli Embassy from less than 50 meters away,” describing the situation as a potential “serious security breach.”

Roger Macmillan, a former director of security at the Iranian dissident satellite channel Iran International, also noted the two apartments had “a direct line of sight, held through Mojtaba Khamenei. That’s not a property portfolio—it’s a permanent surveillance platform.”

“This is a serious security breach,” he added.

Further details from Bloomberg’s investigation indicated a businessman acted as a financial conduit, purchasing high-end properties on Khamenei’s behalf and channeling funds through an investment network.

The investigation also found 11 mansions on London’s “Billionaire’s Row” were bought using an Isle of Man shell company.

The Financial Times has similarly reported on links between Khamenei’s associates and luxury assets across Europe.

Khamenei, 56, has been viewed as a powerful figure in Iran’s ruling establishment, ultimately becoming the leading successor to his father—who was killed in a Tehran compound strike on Feb. 28.

Since being selected by Iran’s Assembly of Experts, he has not been seen in public to date.
