Israel wanted to kill Iran's supreme leader: How did Khamenei survive? How did Mossad fail to find him, and where did he hide?
Israel wanted to kill Iran's supreme leader: How did Khamenei survive? How did Mossad fail to find him, and where did he hide? Tel Aviv: The 12-day-long deadly conflict between Iran and Israel ended after United States President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on June 24, hours after Tehran launched missile attacks on the US base in Qatar. A new shocking revelation has come to light: Tel Aviv wanted to eliminate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during the war. Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz, on June 26, recently acknowledged that his country would have neutralised Khamenei if it had been possible during the war. 'I estimate that if Khamenei had been in our sights, we would have taken him out.' But Khamenei understood this, went underground to very great depths, and broke off contacts with the commanders who replaced those commanders who were eliminated, so it wasn't realistic in the end.' But 'it wasn't realistic in the end,' Katz said during an interview with Israel's Kan public television. The Israeli Defence Minister added that his country actively searched for Iran's supreme leader throughout the 12-day war. Israel wanted to destabilise Iran's leadership by killing.. Katz stated that Israel wanted to kill Khamenei but not for the regime change but to destabilise the leadership of the Middle East country. He explained, by doing this, Tel Aviv wanted to apply pressure mid-conflict. Responding to a question about whether Israel had sought US approval to kill Khamenei, the Minister said that his government doesn't need permission for 'these things'. 'We don't need permission for these things,' he told Channel 13 as per the TOI. Trump Had Also Threatened Khamenei's Life President Trump had also threatened Iran's supreme leader during the 12-day war. On June 17, the US President wrote on Truth Social that, 'We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding… We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.' However, after few days, Trump stated that a change of regime in Iran was not advisable but demanded 'unconditional surrender.' Khamenei Slammed Trump Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced Donald Trump's demand for Iran's surrender, dismissing it as an unacceptable statement. How Did Khamenei Survive, And Where Did He Hide? As per a report by Reuters, citing five sources with direct details of succession planning, Iran's supreme leader and his family went into hiding. They were protected by the elite Vali-ye Amr unit of the Revolutionary Guards. According to several media reports, Khamenei was hiding in a secure and safe underground bunker. To go completely incognito, he was avoiding all electronic communication to prevent assassination attempts by the Israel Defence Forces. Top Iranian Commanders Killed During the conflict, Israel targeted and eliminated several high-ranking Iranian military and nuclear program officials. During the war, both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump alluded to the potential threat to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, suggesting regime change as a possible outcome.
