Israel's defence minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that Iran's highest leader, Ali Chamenei, "could no longer exist."Previous media reports suggested that US president Donald Trump blocked the Israeli plan to execution him.
Last Friday, Israel conducted air strikes on Iran's atomic facilities and executed high-ranking military officials.The attacks triggered Iran's reaction, and both countries have exchanged punches since then.Katz made a message after a rocket attack that reportedly severely damaged Soroka infirmary in Beer Szew, a large city in confederate Israel.
Shlomi Codish, the general manager of the hospital, said the bullet hit an old building that was evacuated."Other buildings in the infirmary have suffered extended damage. All patients and all personnel were in shelters” “ Codish said.
"Some of the wounded we have are somewhat injured, mainly as a consequence of the shock wave".Katz claimed that Chamenei personally ordered attacks on hospitals, which he felt justified the death of the Iranian leader.
He besides accused Chamenei of seeking to destruct Israel.However, the Iranian media reported that the intended mark was an Israeli military intelligence center located in Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park, about 1.3 km from the hospital.Reports from respective Western media last week stated that Israel consulted the US on Chamenei's assassination plan before the last escalation.
According to Axios, Trump rejected the idea, and American officials told Israel:
"The Iranians have not killed any American, and the discussion of killing political leaders should not be discussed".In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanjahu stated that Iran had attempted to kill Trump twice and inactive considers him a mark due to his firm stance towards Tehran.The US authorities accused 2 people, 1 posthumously, in 2 separate cases of attempting to assassinate Trump during his 2024 election campaign, but did not link either of them to Tehran.
US officials besides claimed that Iran conspired with people in the US to kill Trump before his second election victory, which Tehran denied.Trump threatened Chamenei this week, stating on social media that he is "easy target, but safe”, due to the fact that “We do not intend to destruct it (kill it!), at least for now”.
He besides demanded the unconditional surrender of Iran.
