Title: Israel's Defense Minister Threatens Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei
Israeli official announces Khamenei as the intended subject of the assault
In the heat of ongoing hostilities, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has publicly threatened Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei, a pivotal figure in Iran's ultra-conservative regime, is now facing the wrath of Israel after recent missile attacks on Israeli territory - especially the damage inflicted on a hospital in southern Israel and sites near Tel Aviv [1].
According to Katz, "this man absolutely should not continue to exist" [4]. The Israeli military has reportedly been ordered to increase the intensity of attacks against the Iranian regime, with Khamenei's removal as a key objective [4]. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not ruled out assassinating the Ayatollah and views this campaign as a battle against Iran's "murderous Islamic regime" [2][4]. Netanyahu also believes Khamenei's death would end the conflict, highlighting the strategic importance Israel places on eliminating the Iranian leader.
The situation is far from stable, with the threat very much alive and operational. Israel has already conducted multiple airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites and leadership facilities, including the Arak heavy water reactor and the Sanjarian site, which was previously linked to Iran's former nuclear weapons program [1][4]. The Israeli Defense Forces are committed to step up attacks on Iranian government targets with the aim of degrading and eradicating threats to Israel's security [4].
It's a risky move with global consequences, given Iran's high-profile status in the Middle East. However, as things stand, Israel remains resolute in its pursuit of the Ayatollah Khamenei.
