TEL AVIV (Kashmir English): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to rule out killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, saying they would be doing what they need to do.
Any potential plan to assassinate the Iranian leader is “not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict,” Netanyahu said in an interview with US broadcaster ABC News.
“We’re doing what we need to do,”, he said when pressed directly on whether Israel would target the supreme leader.
“We’ve targeted their top nuclear scientists,” he adds. “We still have work to do on other sites.”
The Israeli leader insisted that his decision to target Iran is done “in the service of mankind” to protect against Iran’s alleged nuclear threat.
“Today it’s Tel Aviv, tomorrow it’s New York,” he said. “I understand America first, I don’t understand America dead.”
Israeli strikes
Meanwhile, Israeli strikes have caused damage to the structures at two missile sites among other military targets, BBC News reported citing satellite images.
The Bid Kaneh military facility 30km west of Tehran has apparently sustained damage to multiple buildings where the roof of a large structure penetrated, with further damage to another building alongside.
