Dubai: Israel’s Defence Minister, Israel Katz, on Wednesday warned that whoever is chosen as Iran’s next supreme leader will be “a target for elimination.” Katz made the statement on X.
“Every leader appointed by the Iranian terror regime to continue and lead the plan to destroy Israel, to threaten the United States and the free world and the countries of the region, and to suppress the Iranian people — will be a target for elimination,” he wrote.
The warning comes after Israel targeted a building on Tuesday associated with Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for selecting the country’s next supreme leader. The strike follows Israel’s killing of 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday, an attack that triggered the ongoing conflict.
