It's definitely odd if he was just sitting in his compound. That's a very, well, known place for him. Surely Iran has plenty of secure underground bunkers for leadership to retreat to?

Apparently they hit the compound with 30+ bunker busters. So perhaps he was in a bunker but the bombs still got him
Is there a source for this? I haven’t read any of the specifics on the strike.
Fleeing is seen as dishonorable in many parts of the Arab world. Remember the Israeli lies about how Yahya Sinwar dressed in women's clothes and were trying to cross the border to Egypt? In reality he was out in the field with his men killing Israeli soldiers. He died a brave death and Khamenei will now have died one too.
Iran isn’t an arab country.
Great, but that is nit-picking---I'm describing a cultural trait present in Iran which makes certain decisions seem irrational to Westerners.

Lol what are you talking about, Arabs are great at guerilla warfare, and that involves a ton of fleeing.
