JAKARTA - Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday said that any figure chosen by Iran to become the successor to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be a target of assassination.
"Any leader chosen by the Iranian terror regime to continue to lead the plan to destroy Israel, threaten the United States, the free world, and the countries in the region, and oppress the Iranian people, will be a target of assassination, no matter his name or where he is hiding," Katz said in a post on X, Al Arabiya and AFP reported (4/4).
It is known that the US and Iran held "Operation Epic Furry" version of Washington or "Operation Roaring Lion" version of Tel Aviv on Saturday, quoted from ABC.
The attack left hundreds of people dead in Iran, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a number of senior Tehran officials.
Meanwhile, Israeli and US strikes on Tuesday hit the building of a body tasked with choosing Iran's new supreme leader, according to reports by government-affiliated media.
"American-Zionist criminals attacked the Expert Assembly building in Qom," south of Tehran, according to the Tasnim news agency.
The assembly is tasked with appointing, overseeing, and potentially dismissing the supreme leader.
Local media showed footage of the building heavily damaged by the attack.
There was no information on possible casualties.
Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is reportedly a strong candidate to become Supreme Leader in Iran, replacing his father.
