Amid growing tension between Israel and Iran, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant made a very sharp statement, calling Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameni as “modern Hitler” and said that Khameni should no longer be allowed to be “existed.” Galant’s statement came when Iran attacked several parts of Israel with ballistic missiles, including areas such as Soroca Hospital, Holon and Ramat Anthem. Hundreds of people were reported injured in the attacks. In response, Israel lashed out at several military and strategic bases, including a sensitive Neutron Research Facility located in the city of Arak, Iran.
Galant said in his statement that Khameni has waged an open war against Israel and his intention is to end the Jewish nation, which is exactly the same as Hitler. He said, “A dictator, who talks about ending the Jewish kingdom, should now go into history.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also called Khameni a “modern Hitler” and indicated that it is time to get rid of religious dictatorship to Persian people.
This statement is not only limited to words, but also a deep military signal behind it. Israel’s intelligence and defense agencies have been ordered to work on strategic options against Khameni. According to reports, there are also indications that Israel may now plan “Targeted Strikes” focused on Iran’s leadership. The US has monitored the situation during this entire incident, although any military intervention has been officially denied.
This rhetoric and military action indicates the broad regional conflict that can be even more serious in the coming times. The long -standing pseudo -war between Iran and Israel has now taken the form of an open war, and such a language about the silence is considered unusual and dangerous in international diplomacy. In this situation there is a major threat to regional stability, in which the US, Saudi Arabia, and other western countries can also get strategically entangled.
In short, the statement given by the Israeli Defense Minister about Khameni is not only a statement, but a clear warning that now the struggle will not only be limited to the limit, but also the peak of power can be targeted. This can be a decisive turn for West Asia, the echo of which will be heard all over the world.
