Israel has also directly targeted and assassinated Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
TEL AVIV: The Israeli army spokesman, while talking to the media, said in a meaningful way that we do not want to say that Ayatollah Khamenei is our target.
Israeli officials have indicated that the possibility of an attack on Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cannot be ruled out. After this statement, the ongoing tension in the region has entered a new dangerous phase.
According to foreign media, a senior Israeli government official has said that all options for targeting Iran’s top leadership are under consideration.
When Israeli army spokesman Effie Defren was directly asked whether Ayatollah Khamenei could be the target of Israeli attacks, he neither confirmed nor denied it and meaningfully said only that he did not want to say that Ayatollah Khamenei is our target.
In the past, Israel has also directly targeted and martyred Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, which has increased fears that Iran’s top political leadership could also be among the possible targets.
There has been no direct response from Iran on this issue at this time, however, Iranian officials have warned on several occasions that any targeting of the leadership will result in a decisive and devastating response.
