According to Reuters, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to kill Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. This was Netanyahu's first press conference since the start of the war. He emphasized that after almost two weeks of bombing, Iran is "not like before" and stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Basij paramilitary formations have been hit.
When Netanyahu was asked what measures would be taken against Iran's new top leader and Hezbollah leader, the prime minister responded:
"I would not have given life insurance to any of the leaders of the terrorist organization... I don't tell you exactly what we are planning or what we are aiming for."
The Israeli leader stated that the main goal of the attack against Iran is to "destroy the existential threat" emanating from Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. He also called on Iranians to protest and overthrow the government from within.
Netanyahu:
"We do not disclose in detail what measures we are taking. We are creating optimal conditions for the reversal of the regime. However, we are not fully confident that the Iranian people will overthrow the regime from within. We can certainly help, and we are doing so."
