Israel says whoever is chosen as Iran s next supreme leader will be a target for elimination

Israel's defense minister issued a warning on Wednesday about whoever Iran chooses as its next supreme leader, stating that this person will be “a target for elimination.” Israel Katz shared this message on X. He said, “Any leader chosen by the Iranian terror regime to continue its plans to harm Israel, threaten the United States and the free world, and oppress the Iranian people — will be a target for elimination.” On Tuesday, Israel struck a building linked to Iran’s Assembly of Experts, the body responsible for selecting the new supreme leader. This comes after Israel killed 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a strike on Saturday, which marked the beginning of the war.
