Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out the possibility of targeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei when asked by reporters if Israel intended to do so.
He insisted that the potential elimination of the supreme leader would "end the conflict," not escalate it, dismissing claims that such a move could escalate the war across the region.
“' Look, we're doing what we have to do.' Forever war is what Iran wants, and they're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing that, putting an end to this aggression ,” he said.
Two days ago, news circulated in the media that Israel had requested permission from US President Donald Trump to eliminate Iran's supreme leader. This was rejected by Trump, US media reported, which led to Israel's withdrawal from the plan.
Israel, on the other hand, denied that anything like this had happened, but Netanyahu's statements today cast doubt on whether the plan was real and that Trump stopped it. However, the situation still remains tense and things could change at any moment.
