The Israeli army confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei is a priority target in its offensive against the Iranian regime.
The measure skyrocketed energy prices and raised international concern.
The president of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that the situation will not return to normal in the short term.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, criticized the lack of international support to ensure security in the region
The Israeli Army confirmed that Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's new supreme leader, became one of the main targets of its military offensive.
The military spokesman, Effie Defrin, was categorical: “We don't see or hear it, but we will track it down, find it and neutralize it.”
The statement marks a qualitative leap in the conflict, with Israel pointing directly at the top of the regime.
The warning comes after the elimination of Ali Larijani, one of the most powerful men
in the Iranian apparatus.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defined it as a centerpiece of the system that sustains the regime.
Israel also confirmed the death of senior commanders linked to the Basij force, reinforcing a strategy aimed at dismantling the Iranian core of power.
Israel Defense Forces made it clear that there will be no geographical or hierarchical boundaries
.“No one who raises their hand against Israel is safe,” Defrin warned.
Israeli policy is based on the selective elimination of key figures who represent direct threats, wherever they are.
As Israel intensifies its offensive, the Iranian regime faces
increasing internal instability.In Tehran and other cities, there were massive mobilizations in the midst of a climate of tension, marked by activated defense systems and a strong military deployment.
The protests coincide with Persian New Year celebrations, although the war context has overshadowed much of traditional activities.
The regime maintains the closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil circulates
“We don't need anyone's help,” he said, in line with a strategy of firm action against the Iranian regime.
Washington has intensified its military presence in the Gulf to protect global trade.
The war is already spreading to multiple fronts, including Lebanon, where Israeli attacks have caused hundreds of victims and massive displacements
.In cities like Sidon, thousands of people are seeking refuge in the face of escalating violence.
The conflict also affects Iraq and Gulf countries, with almost daily attacks.
Netanyahu argued that the Israeli strategy aims not only to destroy military capabilities, but also to weaken
the regime from within.“The change will not be immediate, but we are giving Iranians an opportunity to take their destiny into their own hands,” he said.
The offensive seeks to erode the regime's power and open the door to a
possible internal breakdown.Israeli authorities warned that the campaign will continue and that they will continue to target key figures in the Iranian
regime.The inclusion of the supreme leader as an objective marks a new phase of the conflict, with unpredictable consequences for regional stability.
