In a chilling admission, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was a target for assassination during the recent 12-day conflict. However, the operation was aborted as Khamenei reportedly “went very deep underground” and cut contact with his commanders. Katz said no U.S. approval was needed to strike Iran’s leadership, but the mission was deemed unfeasible. The shocking revelation comes amid rising tensions and adds fuel to Iran’s claim of Western-backed attempts to destabilize its leadership. Tehran has yet to issue an official response.
