The Israel Defence Forces issued a stark warning to Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, saying anyone threatening Israel would be eliminated and that “his blood will be on his own head.” IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin said Israel has thousands of targets inside Iran and continues to generate more daily as the conflict intensifies. Israeli officials also stressed that while their military campaign aims to weaken Iran’s leadership and military infrastructure, the future of the country ultimately lies “in the hands of the Iranian people.” The warning comes as the wider Middle East conflict escalates following joint strikes and retaliatory attacks across the region.
