Four days after the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that any possible successor to Khamenei would also be killed.

“Any leader chosen by the Iranian terrorist regime to further lead the plan to destroy Israel, threaten the United States, the free world and countries in the region, and oppress the Iranian people will certainly become a target for killing, no matter what their name is or where they are hiding,” Katz wrote Wednesday on the online service X.

The attack by Israel and the USA on Iran could become a “forever war”. The political scientist Anthony Glees told the British medium “The Mirror”. The defense expert said the Iranian regime appears to have no qualms about killing “hundreds of thousands” of its own citizens to stay in power.

The war can only be ended if “Trump throws in the towel” and abandons the joint operation with Israel. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was overthrown within hours of the bombing beginning, but there was no opposition leader who could easily replace him and take power, Glees said. Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are prepared to murder “hundreds of thousands” to prevent a revolution.
