Israel Vows to Find and 'Neutralise' Iran's New Supreme Leader

The vow follows the reported deaths of senior Iranian military officials and comes amid escalating regional violence that has displaced over 1 million people in Lebanon.

  • On Tuesday, Israel's military vowed to hunt down Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader, Brigadier General Effie Defrin told reporters: 'We don't know about Mojtaba Khamenei, we don't hear him, we don't see him, but I can tell you one thing: we will track him down, find him, and neutralise him.'
  • After the February 28 death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly assumed power following weeks of strikes and targeted killings in Iran that ignited the current confrontation.
  • Israel struck Basij positions around Tehran and announced the death of Gholamreza Soleimani, confirmed by Iran's Revolutionary Guards; shortly after, Larijani's official social media posted an undated handwritten note.
  • Humanitarian agencies report mass displacement and mounting casualties in Lebanon, with more than a million displaced and 886 killed since March 2; Jihan Kaisi said, 'Lots of people are coming every day to ask for shelter but we don't have space anymore, we can't accept them'.
  • Since October 7, 2023 cross-border Hamas attacks, analysts say Israel pursues a 'decapitation' policy, while Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Tuesday called these assassinations truly illegal.
