Netanyahu's Stark Warning: No One is Safe from Israeli Retaliation

A Dire Message from Israel's Leadership

In a recent statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning, asserting that 'no one is safe' from potential Israeli retaliation, suggesting that even Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, could be targeted.

These remarks were made during a visit to Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba, which had been struck by Iranian missile attacks earlier that day.

Netanyahu emphasized, 'I have instructed that no one is exempt.' He preferred to let actions speak rather than engage in media speculation.

He remarked, 'In times of conflict, it is crucial to choose words carefully and execute actions with precision,' while stating that all options remain on the table and should not be discussed publicly.

The Prime Minister reiterated that Israel's operations in Iran are aimed at neutralizing its nuclear ambitions and missile capabilities, contrasting this with Iran's attacks on civilians.

'They target hospitals where people cannot escape,' he pointed out, highlighting the moral distinction between a democratic state and those who commit atrocities.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had previously issued a direct threat to Khamenei, labeling him as 'the modern Hitler' and stating that eliminating his existence is a key objective of their operations.

'A dictator like Khamenei, who has inscribed the destruction of Israel on his flag, cannot continue to exist,' Katz declared during a visit to a site affected by the conflict.

Regarding the potential involvement of the United States in countering Iran's nuclear program, Netanyahu stated that the decision rests with President Donald Trump.

'He will act in America's best interest, and I will prioritize Israel's needs,' Netanyahu remarked, asserting that Israel is prepared to handle the situation independently if necessary.

He concluded that by the end of their operations, Israel would no longer face a nuclear or ballistic threat.

As tensions escalate, Iran has reportedly launched over 400 ballistic missiles and more than 1,000 drones at Israel since the initiation of Operation Rising Lion, which aims to dismantle the nuclear threat from Iran.

In the wake of these developments, wartime reporting restrictions have been imposed, limiting coverage of military operations, targets, and damage assessments.
