Killing the Iranian supreme leader would end the conflict, the Israeli prime minister has claimed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to rule out trying to kill Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as the clash between the two nations continues to escalate.
Israel and Iran have been exchanging strikes since West Jerusalem bombed Iranian nuclear and military facilities last Friday in what it described as an effort to preempt Tehran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons. Israel has also targeted civilian areas, causing casualties, as well as the state broadcaster on Monday. The US, which had been engaged in Oman-mediated nuclear talks with Iran prior to the attack, has endorsed the Israeli operation.
In an interview with ABC News on Monday, Netanyahu was asked to comment on recent media reports claiming that US President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate the Iranian leader out of concern over further escalation.
“It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict,” the Israeli prime minister replied.
“The ‘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 this, bringing an end to this aggression,” he claimed.
When asked whether he would really target Khamenei, Netanyahu replied, “Look, we’re doing what we need to do. I’m not going to get into the details, but we’ve targeted their top nuclear scientists.”
Israel has claimed it killed at least ten Iranian nuclear scientists using targeted bombings since last week. Iran has repeatedly accused West Jerusalem of carrying out clandestine assassinations of top Iranian minds in the field for more than a decade prior to the current hostilities.
Netayahu has positioned the Israeli attack as a “service” to protect both the US and the wider world from Iran.
“Today, it’s Tel Aviv. Tomorrow, it’s New York. Look, I understand ‘America First’. I don’t understand ‘America Dead’,” he said, adding that West Jerusalem would need Washington’s help to totally eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program.
Israel has reportedly asked the US to take a direct part in strikes on Iran. The Israeli Air Force lacks the bunker-buster bombs capable of taking out Iran’s deep underground nuclear facilities, but Washington could provide them, Axios wrote on Saturday, citing Israeli officials.
Tehran has repeatedly insisted that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful, and has accused Israel of torpedoing its talks with the US.
“Iran did NOT begin this war and has no interest in perpetuating bloodshed. But we will proudly fight to the last drop of blood to protect our land,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X on Monday. He warned that “getting the US mired in the Mother of Forever Wars” would destroy any chance of a diplomatic solution.
Tick tock Mileikowsky.
I can’t help but feel Zelenski and Bibi will share the same fate.
Did it cross his nasty mind, that maybe someone, might decide to return the favour? Not that I’d shed a single tear.
Shouldn’t the assassinate Benjamin Netanyahu?????
Had the same thought
The Hebrew language was artificially revived for the purpose of elevating the Jews who moved to Palestine. It hadn’t been spoken since 200 AD and had only an academic/lithurgical niche. It was ‘revived’ in the 1920s To fit the script Jews changed not only thier language but also their names. The adoption of Hebrew names was an especially attempt to legitimize the colonization of Palestine. If they had kept their European names it would have been even more obvious that they were just colonizers, but if they larped as ancient Jews they thought it would give more legitimacy to their project. Every single Israeli Prime Minister was either born in Europe or was of European descent, and most of them changed their family name after coming to colonize Palestine :
David Ben Gurion => David Grün from Poland
Golda Meir => Golda Mabovitch from Russia
Shimon Peres => Szymon Perski from Poland
Yitzhak Shamir => Yitzhak Yezernitsky from Belarus
Ehud Barak => Ehud Brog from Lithuania
Ariel Sharon => Ariel Scheinerman from Belarus
Benjamin Netanyahu => Benjamin Milejkowski from Poland
It’s like if Benito Mussolini renamed himself Gaius Julius Mussolinus when he invaded Albania and Greece.
The ‘dancing Israelis’ is proof that Israel knew about 9/11 in advance, and there is compelling evidence that Israel was the senior partner in the attacks on the World Trade center. And then there’s the JFK assassination; Kennedy was a major opponent of Israel developing the bomb, by insisting on inspection before he would give support for the Dimona nuclear plant in the Negev desert. Replacement of Kennedy by Lyndon Johnson gave the green light to develop nuclear weapons. And then there are the other assassinations of public figures perpetrated by Israel, which could form the basis for an op-ed column.
Didn’t thej train terrorism and assassinations as bolsheviks, communists, socialists, trotzkists, mossad?
impressive sunset

Since when, in this so called ‘age of civilisation’, did assassinating heads of state become legal, let alone acceptable? Have the endless games of first person shooters and empire building warped the minds of perverted dictators and their spouses to the point where killing is an amusement? It sure seems that way. (oops sorry I meant killing and looting)
