Elite “Black-Clad” Unit Reportedly Assigned to Guard Iran’s New Supreme Leader

Reports indicate that an elite counter-terrorism force, often described as a “black-clad” special unit, has been tasked with protecting Iran’s newly appointed Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei following the recent leadership transition. According to sources cited in media coverage, the unit is part of Iran’s security apparatus and is typically deployed for high-risk protection and crisis response operations.

The heightened security measures come amid ongoing regional tensions and increased concerns about potential threats to Iran’s top leadership. Analysts say the move reflects the broader shift toward a more security-driven governance structure, with military institutions playing a growing role in national decision-making during a period of geopolitical uncertainty.
