hostile plans
\n TEL AVIV
\nIsraeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has warned that any Iranian leader who seeks Israel\u2019s destruction will be \u201celiminated.\u201d His remarks came amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, following months of escalating rhetoric and regional instability.
\nSpeaking at a public event, Katz declared that Israel would not tolerate threats to its existence and would act decisively against those who attempt to advance hostile plans. He stated: \u201cAny Iranian leader who tries to destroy Israel will be eliminated. The destroyer has been destroyed, and so will anyone who follows.\u201d
\nThe comments follow the death of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier this year, which Katz attributed to a joint U.S.-Israeli strike. He claimed that the operation removed \u201cimmediate existential threats\u201d to Israel and severely weakened Iran\u2019s strategic capabilities.
\nKatz also criticized anti-Israel slogans voiced during Khamenei\u2019s funeral, describing them as proof of Iran\u2019s extremist agenda. He emphasized Israel\u2019s close coordination with the United States, noting that joint military efforts had achieved significant objectives against Iran. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
