Katz: Israel ready to eliminate any leader appointed by Iran

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz declared that any leader appointed by Iran to threaten Israel, the United States, regional countries, or suppress the Iranian people will be a “clear target for elimination.”

כל מנהיג שימונה ע"י משטר הטרור האיראני כדי להמשיך ולהוביל את התוכנית להשמדת ישראל, לאיים על ארה"ב והעולם החופשי ומדינות האזור, ולדכא את העם האירני - יהיה יעד חד משמעי לחיסול.

לא חשוב מה שמו והמקום בו יסתתר.

רה"מ ואני הנחינו את צה"ל להיערך ולפעול בכל האמצעים למימוש המשימה כחלק…

“Every leader appointed by the Iranian terrorist regime to carry out and lead the plan to destroy Israel, threaten the United States, the free world, and regional countries, as well as to suppress the Iranian people, will be a clear target for elimination,” Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz wrote on social media platform X.

“It does not matter what his name is or where he is hiding.

The Prime Minister and I have instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare and take all necessary measures to carry out this mission as an integral part of Operation ‘Roaring Lion.’

We will continue to act with full force alongside our American partners to destroy the regime’s capabilities and create conditions for the Iranian people to overthrow it,” Katz wrote.
