Netanyahu: 'Increasing Evidence' Suggests Khamenei is Not Alive

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech stating that there is 'increasing evidence' that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, may no longer be alive. These statements sparked intense discussion and concern. Netanyahu stressed that the military operation against Iran would continue 'as necessary', while also calling on Israeli citizens to strictly follow the instructions of the Home Front Command. His statement implies a continued escalation of the conflict. Addressing anti-regime protesters in Iran, Netanyahu messaged them that 'the help you were waiting for has arrived' and that their time to change the situation will soon come, implying support from Israel for the internal political opposition in Iran. Furthermore, Netanyahu spoke of a ‘coalition for peace and a coalition for war’, estimating that the current conflict will ultimately lead to ‘real peace’. However, this assessment was expressed in a context of intense uncertainty and risk of escalation.
