Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ABC News on Monday that targeting Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would bring an end to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, rather than escalate it.

New Delhi: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview that the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei will end the ongoing war and tension between the two countries. He claimed that Israel’s military action is not to promote the conflict, but to end it.

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has weathered a series of challenges but Israel's unprecedented strikes mark his most serious crisis yet, threatening both the clerical system he leads and his own physical survival.

Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly called President Trump at Iran's urging to address the attacks between itself and Israel.

President DONALD TRUMP may have vetoed a reported Israeli proposal over the weekend to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah ALI KHAMENEI, but Israel and its boosters are still pushing for the U.S. to back regime change in Tehran.
