Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared Sunday that Israeli forces would intensify strikes "at the heart of Tehran" in the coming days, vowing to deliver a decisive blow to Iran's regime with full U.S. support following the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes late last week.
Speaking from the roof of Israel's military headquarters in Tel Aviv after a meeting with Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and Mossad Director David Barnea, Netanyahu confirmed the elimination of Khamenei and dozens of senior officials. "Yesterday, we eliminated the tyrant Khamenei," he said in a televised statement. "Along with him, dozens of senior figures of the oppressive regime were eliminated."
