The ongoing Iran–Israel conflict has entered an extremely volatile phase, with both nations launching relentless attacks on each other’s territories. As Iran fires a fresh round of missiles into Israeli cities, Israel intensifies its offensive, targeting deep inside Tehran. What’s most shocking, however, is a senior Israeli official hinting that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei could be directly targeted.
Israeli Official Hints: “Khamenei is Not Off Limits”
In an explosive interview with The Wall Street Journal, a top Israeli official stated that “assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader is not off the table.” This would represent a historic and dangerous shift in Israel’s military strategy, moving beyond infrastructure to target Iran’s top leadership in an effort to destabilize the regime.
Nuclear and Military Sites Under Fire
The Israeli official confirmed their recent airstrikes inflicted heavy damage on key Iranian infrastructure, including the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility. Israel has taken responsibility for the assassinations of nine Iranian nuclear scientists and several senior military commanders in recent days—clear signs of a deepening campaign.
Iran’s “True Promise III” Operation Unleashed
Iran responded swiftly under its “True Promise III” campaign, launching hundreds of missiles toward Israeli cities. Some even penetrated Israel’s advanced missile defense systems, striking key locations in Tel Aviv and causing widespread damage.
Israeli Fighter Jets Pound Targets in Tehran
In retaliation, Israeli fighter jets conducted airstrikes across Tehran, escalating the scope and intensity of the conflict. The Israeli government, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has made it clear: the military campaign will not slow down—it will only accelerate.
Khamenei Vows Vengeance
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has publicly vowed revenge, declaring that Israel’s strikes on Iranian soil will not go unpunished. He warned that the response will be “decisive and painful,” signaling a possible all-out war if diplomatic off-ramps are not found soon.
Global Alarm Over Targeted Leadership Strikes
International concern is mounting over the possibility of political assassinations becoming a central war tactic. The idea that Israel could openly attempt to assassinate Iran’s top leader has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles.
Vulnerability of Iran’s Underground Nuclear Sites
The recent Israeli attacks have also raised alarms about the vulnerability of Iran’s underground nuclear facilities. What were once considered impenetrable are now being exposed to advanced drone and air-based precision strikes.
Israel Claims: “Iran’s Military Capabilities Are Crippled”
Despite global concern, Israeli officials claim their efforts are working. According to them, Iran’s military infrastructure has been significantly weakened, and its nuclear ambitions have suffered a major blow. However, independent verification of these claims remains elusive.
