Israeli Defense Chief Says Iran Leader ‘Cannot Continue to Exist’
- Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated this week that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei must be removed, emphasizing that he should no longer be allowed to remain in power amid the growing conflict.
- The declaration followed a surprise Israeli airstrike last Friday targeting Iranian military sites and nuclear scientists, prompting Iran’s missile barrages hitting Israel including hospitals and residential buildings.
- Israel Katz accused Khamenei of ordering attacks on hospitals, vowed intensified Israeli strikes, and Prime Minister Netanyahu called for regime change and warned Khamenei could be next.
- President Trump, while threatening the Iranian leader and knowing his location, stated on Tuesday that the US will not 'take him out... at least not for now', and the US has not ruled out joining Israel’s campaign.
- This conflict raises questions about Iran’s leadership succession, especially regarding Khamenei’s son Mojtaba, amid broader international calls for ceasefires from China, Russia, and France warning military action risks chaos.
