Will find and eliminate Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, says Israel

Israel’s military has put Iran’s top leadership squarely in its crosshairs, with a direct warning aimed at its most powerful figure. "We will find him," said Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, as he strongly asserted that new Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is "not immune" and vowed that he will be hunted down as part of the Jewish state's ongoing campaign.

"Mojtaba Khamenei, we don't know his fate. We don't hear him, we don’t see him," Defrin said at a press briefing, according to The Times of Israel. Then came the warning: "He is not immune. We will pursue him, find him, and neutralise him."

The remarks signal an escalation in Israel's rhetoric as its military campaign against Iran and its proxies widens.
