Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 'can no longer be allowed to exist', an Israeli minister declared today.
Israel Katz, the country's defence minister, accused Khamenei of personally ordering an Iranian attack on a hospital in southern Israel this morning in a salvo targeting several Israeli cities.
'He considers the destruction of the state of Israel to be a goal. Such a man can no longer be allowed to exist.,' said Katz.
Meanwhile Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping have made fresh calls for a 'diplomatic solution' to resolve the conflict between Israel and Iran in what will be seen as a message to Donald Trump to not join the fighting.
And Israel 's military released footage showing the moment an Iranian nuclear reactor was blown up amid fears it was producing material to develop weapons.
Video shared by the IDF shows strikes being carried out at the reactor in the Iranian city of Arak. According to the IDF, the reactor is designed to produce plutonium, a material used to make nuclear weapons.

Sounds like an invitation for the ‘locals’ to manage.
Russia and China know the new Iran government will not be friendly...
I predict after the normal revenge killing Iran will quickly become westernized.
Killing the ayatollah is not the same as killing the Pope or any other religious leader. The Iranian ayatollah has always openly advocated killing Jews just because they’re Jewish. The ayatollah is as much, if not more, a political official as it is a religious official. Naturally, if you take off the head of this snake it will grow another head. Just have to keep up the beheading until there isn’t another one just like the others. Will there be a time when they realize their philosophy is counter productive?
‘He considers the destruction of the state of Israel to be a goal. Such a man can no longer be allowed to exist.,’
That covers 2,000,000,000 muslims. What to do?
why is Israel directing our foreign policy?
Is Trump in charge or is Israel in charge?
Pootitoot and Poobear tell Trump not to join the conflict? So then they are going to pull out of all the conflicts they have stuck their noses into? I thought not.
they aren’t... directing our policy.
we are fulfilling our agreements to protect our Israeli and Arabic friends in the middle east, some of which we have long standing legal, moral and written agreements with, that were sanctioned by congresses past and current... to never let the Persians have a nuclear bomb.
It reminds me of a scene from the Ozarks series when Jacob was discussing the effect of eliminating a Cartel leader up in the Ozarks. “... They will just send in another Mexican to take his place. One thing Mexico is full of is Mexicans”.
Take Khamenei out ... don’t take him out ... whatever ... but they will just replace him with another mullah.
“...if you take off the head of this snake it will grow another head. Just have to keep up the beheading until there isn’t another one just like the others. Will there be a time when they realize their philosophy is counter productive?”
They’ve had almost 1,500 years to realize it, with zero progress. The Koran says to kill the infidels. Allah demands it, case closed. No interpretation, just kill them (us).
A ‘religion’ straight from hell, no reform possible. Eradication of the threat is no longer possible but containment might be possible.
Yes just point the locals to the bunker. They know what to do.
Putin seems to think he is in charge. Israel begs to differ.
Their monarchies were able to keep them contained... until the Nazis and USSR came along.
A time-honored strategy which has been effective for millennia. You have just summarized most of the history of the Middle East and Central Asia.
Will there be a time when they realize their philosophy is counterproductive?
No. That is because the strategy works, when it is used. The next best effective alternative is to exterminate a major percentage of an enemy national population. The choice is between "bad" and "worse".
Wars start because national leaders want them to start. They end when the national leaders want them to end. But it only takes one party to start a war. It takes two parties to end a war.
The leaders who start the wars might very well be different from the leaders who end the wars. It is (or should be) a hazardous activity for national leaders.
Weren’t some here saying that about Putin (cannot continue to exist) when he first invaded Ukraine?
Enabling the Iranian resistance seems the logical way to rid them of the Mullahs.
I don’t want us to get militarily involved either, and I pray we don’t. But Vlad and Xi need to realize we don’t care what they think.
And Vlad in particular has no business calling for a “‘diplomatic solution’ to resolve the conflict” when he appears unable to to do that himself in his own backyard.
Sod off, Russia and China.
Vlad is all hot air and doesn’t matter. He has no capability to do anything beyond issuing press releases. In an act of futility, Vlad has abandoned his alliance with Iran
Trump is not going to war. However, he is taking the precaution of mobilizing forces so that in the event Iran is foolish enough to attack us or close the straights, there can be instant and deadly response.
BTW, you should be very pleased with the DODGE and other efforts that are in fact a real assault on the deficit and debt. President Trump is in fact making a tremendous effort and difference in the debt problems from which we suffer

BTW, it’s “DOGE.” Department of Government Efficiency. 😏
