Netanyahu did not rule out the possibility of an assassination attempt on Iran's supreme leader

Tensions in the Middle East are intensifying. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out the possibility of a special operation to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, ABC News reported. According to him, such an operation would not escalate the conflict, but on the contrary, could stabilize the situation.

"This would not escalate the conflict, but rather put an end to it," Netanyahu said in his statement. The Prime Minister especially emphasized that the Iranian government has been fueling various conflicts in the Middle East for half a century, causing concern throughout the region. According to him, Israel always puts the interests of its people first, and the state "is doing what is necessary for its people."

New discussions on this issue have also appeared in US-Israeli relations. According to Reuters, Israel had the opportunity to organize an assassination attempt on Iran’s Supreme Leader, but US President Donald Trump vetoed this plan. A high-ranking source in the US administration noted that Iran has not yet threatened any Americans, so Washington does not consider such political steps.

Commenting on such reports, Netanyahu said, "There are many false news stories circulating about conversations that never happened." However, he once again reminded that the Israeli leadership always makes the necessary decisions for the benefit of the people.

In the current geopolitical situation, such political and military statements are at the center of the international community's attention. How the escalation between Iran and Israel will continue in the coming days is still unknown. One thing is clear: both countries' leaders are openly showing a mood of not backing down.
