In a dramatic video statement released on Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that there are numerous indications suggesting Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may have been killed during recent Israeli-U.S. military operations in Iran. Netanyahu asserted that the strikes targeted key facilities and personnel associated with the Iranian regime.
Destruction of Khamenei's Compound
Netanyahu specifically mentioned that Israeli forces destroyed the compound of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier in the day. He described Khamenei as a tyrant who has, for over three decades, orchestrated global terrorism, inflicted suffering on the Iranian people, and persistently pursued a program aimed at annihilating the state of Israel.
Targeting Senior Iranian Officials
The Israeli Prime Minister detailed that the strikes eliminated senior officials within the ayatollahs' regime, including commanders of the Revolutionary Guards and key figures involved in Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu emphasized that these actions are part of a broader strategy to dismantle what he termed the "terror regime."
He further warned that in the coming days, Israel plans to hit thousands more targets associated with the Iranian government, signaling an escalation in military efforts. The statement underscores ongoing tensions in the region and Israel's proactive stance against perceived threats from Iran.
This development follows heightened geopolitical friction, with Israel and the United States coordinating efforts to counter Iranian influence and activities. The potential death of Khamenei, if confirmed, could have profound implications for Middle Eastern politics and international relations.
