Netanyahu says killing Iran’s supreme leader would ‘end the conflict’
Netanyahu has refused to rule out the possibility of targeting Supreme Leader Khamenei, saying: “It’s not going to escalate the conflict. It’s going to end the conflict.”
In an interview with ABC News, Netanyahu was asked whether such an action was on the table, to which he responded Israel was “doing what we need to do”. “We’ve had half a century of conflict spread by this regime that terrorises everyone in the Middle East,” Netanyahu said.
“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, and we can only do so by standing up to the forces of evil.”
