Supreme Leader Khamenei, 86 years old, is a true believer in the Iranian nation-state and sacred resistance who would not flee with his wealth like others might, representing the absolute linchpin of the regime that has run Iran since 1989 and kept the Islamic Republic in place.

Evidence Quote

this man, 86 years old, is a true believer...He's not somebody that was likely to flee to Russia or head off with his loot. He's somebody who, to the end, believed strongly in the nation-state of Iran...And he is the absolute linchpin of that part of the regime.
