Israeli PM says killing Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini not ruled out amid Iranian missile strikes
Jerusalem, June 19 (UNI) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following Iranian missile strikes at the country's Soroka Hospital and various residential areas has not ruled out killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, stating that 'no one is immune,' reports Times of Israel.
Touring Beersheba's Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba after the attack, he said 'No one is immune', adding 'All the options are open.'
Condemning the attack, he said "We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran."
However, he did not elaborate much, stating 'It's best not to speak about this in the press.'
Regarding any possible American involvement in the war, Netanyahu said that 'is a decision for President Trump.'
'He will do what is good for America, and I will do what's good for Israel,' adding that the US president 'knows the game.'
The Israeli PM said that Tel Aviv had the capability to carry out the operation entirely on its own, if additional military support was not given.
'At the end of this operation, there will be no nuclear threat on Israel, and there won't be a ballistic threat.'
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who has been much more open in his statements about Iran, called Khomeini a 'modern day Hitler', and wrote on social media "The prime minister and I instructed the IDF to increase the intensity of the attacks against strategic targets in Iran and against government targets in Tehran in order to remove the threats against the State of Israel and undermine the regime of the ayatollahs.'
