ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Wednesday that any leader appointed by Iran’s leadership who continues policies aimed at threatening Israel, the United States, and regional countries will become a target for assassination.
In a post on X, Katz said that any individual selected by the Iranian leadership to pursue what Israel described as plans to destroy the country and threaten the “free world” would be treated as a legitimate target.
“It does not matter what his name is or where he hides,” the minister said.
The statement added that Israel’s prime minister and defense leadership have instructed the Israeli military to prepare and act using all necessary means to carry out the mission.
