Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has declared that Israel is ready to renew the war against Iran, stating the IDF is prepared for both defense and offense with targets already marked. He emphasized that Israel seeks US approval for such actions and has now explicitly threatened to eliminate Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, in the first step if hostilities return. This threat escalates the public rhetoric surrounding the potential resumption of conflict and directly targets the Iranian leadership. The statement comes amid ongoing assessments of Khamenei's severe injuries and diminished control over the Iranian state.
