Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has once again issued strong warnings against Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, following the circulation of a graphic by Tehran that marked senior Israeli officials as assassination targets. Katz referenced Israeli drone activity and suggested Khamenei should be wary whenever he leaves his bunker. The minister also alluded to the 'Red Wedding' operation, a surprise Israeli attack during the recent Israel-Iran war, which resulted in the deaths of several senior Iranian military commanders.
Katz reiterated past threats, stating that Israel had sought to assassinate Khamenei during the conflict, but the opportunity did not arise. He emphasized that Israel's goal was to disrupt the Iranian regime rather than pursue regime change. The exchange comes amid ongoing tensions and mutual threats between the two nations, with Katz maintaining a hardline stance against Iran's leadership.
