Khamenei’s successor will become undisputed target for elimination, - Israeli Defense Ministry
Any new leader appointed by the Iranian authorities to replace Ali Khamenei will become an obvious target for removal.
According to Censor.NET, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote about this on the social network X.
Threats from Israel
"Any leader appointed by the Iranian terrorist regime to continue implementing the plan to destroy Israel, threaten the US, the free world, and countries in the region, as well as oppress the Iranian people, will be an unambiguous target for elimination," Katz writes.
According to him, it does not matter what the new leader of Iran is called or where he is hiding.
"We will continue to act with full force alongside our American partners to destroy the regime's capabilities and create conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow and replace it," the Israeli minister said.
