Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his assassination threat against Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating that he has instructed the military that “no one is untouchable in Iran."
Speaking to Israel’s state broadcaster KAN in response to a question from Defense Minister Yisrael Katz about the threat, Netanyahu said, “I have instructed the army that no one has immunity in Iran. There is no need for further explanation—let the events speak for themselves.”
Netanyahu claimed that Israel does not aim to overthrow the Iranian regime.
“The regime’s destabilization could be a consequence, but it is not the goal. That is a decision for the Iranian people to make,” he said.
Regarding Iran’s nuclear program, Netanyahu asserted that Israel “has the capability to strike all nuclear facilities in Iran.”
Netanyahu also emphasized that Israel does not wait for a “green light” from the United States to attack Iran. He praised the support of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
“They provide us with excellent defence assistance, including American pilots who shoot down drones, and the U.S. also supports us with the THAAD ballistic missile defence system.”
Defense Minister Yisrael Katz previously stated in Holon, near Tel Aviv—the site targeted in Iran’s recent retaliatory strikes—that “a dictator like Khamenei cannot maintain his rule.”
Visiting Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, which was hit in Iran’s early morning counterattacks, Netanyahu hinted that an assassination attempt on Khamenei is on the table, stating, “All options are being considered.”
The conflict between Israel and Iran escalated following Israel’s large-scale attacks on 13 June, targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and senior military commanders. The strikes killed Iran’s Chief of Staff, Revolutionary Guards Commander, several senior officials, and nine nuclear scientists, while total civilian casualties reported at 224.
In Iran’s ballistic missile retaliation against Israel, 24 people were killed and more than 500 injured.
Several countries, including Turkey, have condemned Israel’s attacks. As tensions rise in the region, the international community continues to call for de-escalation.
