🔶 Kats: Any Iranian leader who wants to harm Israel will face the fate of Khamenei Yisrael Katz, Israel’s defense minister, while funeral ceremonies for Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, continue to be held, warned that any Iranian leader who tries in the future to harm Israel will face a “fate similar to his.” According to the news website “Times of Israel,” Katz said on Monday, July 6 (15 Tir), that Khamenei was killed by Israel because “he initiated and oversaw the plan to destroy Israel.” The Israeli defense minister added: “The terrorist’s killer was eliminated. Any Iranian leader who again plans the destruction of Israel will face a barrier.” Katz further said: “The slogans of those taking part in the funeral ceremonies for Khamenei, who have called for revenge against Donald Trump, the U.S. president, are a source of shame and reveal the true nature of the rule of the mullahs.” He also emphasized that the recent military campaign “removed the immediate threat to Israel’s destruction [from Iran] and significantly weakened Iran’s strategic capabilities,” adding: “Israel remains on high alert and is ready at any time and against any threat to defend itself.”
