Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that it was “impossible to allow the Iranian supreme guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to stay in power”, after an Iranian missile attack targeted a hospital in southern Israel.
This declaration arises while Russia warns the United States against any military intervention against Iran, in a context of increasing speculation on a possible implication of Washington in the conflict.
At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has promised to eradicate the Iranian nuclear and ballistic threat. “Our goal is double: to eliminate the nuclear threat as well as that of ballistic missiles,” he said during a press briefing in front of the Soroka hospital in Be’er Sheva, damaged by the Iranian attack.
“We are in the final stages of eliminating this threat,” he added. “We are totally determined to make the nuclear threat disappear. »»
These statements mark a major verbal escalation in an already explosive regional context, while tensions between Israel and Iran reach a new summit.
