Netanyahu threatens to assassinate Mojtaba Khamenei and warns of the danger of 'extremist Islam'

The Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation government, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued direct threats against the new Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, hinting at assassination as an unprecedented escalation. During his first press conference since the outbreak of widespread military confrontations, Netanyahu claimed that Tel Aviv had succeeded in achieving major strategic accomplishments that would fundamentally reshape the balance of power in the Middle East.

Netanyahu affirmed that the Israeli army forces continue to launch intensive strikes against the headquarters and checkpoints of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and the 'Basij' mobilization forces, noting that Tehran's current situation has completely changed from what it was before the start of joint military operations with the United States. He added that Israel is gradually transforming into a dominant regional power, and even aspires to strengthen its position as a global power in specific fields, based on new alliances that sources described as unattainable just a few weeks ago.

In a striking context, Netanyahu touched upon religious and political dimensions, stating that the arrival of the 'return of the Messiah' is possible but requires facing grave challenges, ruling out its occurrence in the very near future. He warned that what he described as 'extremist Islam,' both Sunni and Shiite, poses an imminent danger threatening global stability, emphasizing that this dilemma will not find a solution without direct and decisive intervention to confront its roots.

Netanyahu stressed that military action against Iran was an urgent necessity to prevent the fortification of its underground military industries, which he considered the greatest threat to Israel's existence. He also claimed that Tel Aviv is systematically working to create suitable conditions for the Iranian people to enable them to overthrow the ruling regime, asserting that the moment for Iranians to gain their freedom is near, despite his emphasis that this change remains the responsibility of the people alone.

On the international relations front, Netanyahu boasted about building an exceptional and unprecedented alliance with the current American administration, highlighting the strength of his ties with President Donald Trump. Netanyahu described this relationship as surpassing in its strength and coordination any previous relationship witnessed in the history of ties between American presidents and Israeli prime ministers, which provides Tel Aviv with broad political and military cover.

Netanyahu concluded his statements by affirming that the ongoing operations aim to ensure Israel's long-term security by dismantling the threats surrounding it from all fronts. Sources indicated that Netanyahu's tone reflects a desire to leverage absolute American support to achieve political and military goals that transcend the traditional boundaries of the conflict, in light of the rapid changes taking place in the region.

Extremist Islam, whether Sunni or Shiite, poses a threat to the entire world, and it cannot be assumed that this problem will solve itself.
