Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is not out of reach as Israel continues its intensive air campaign in Iran.
An Israeli official stated this on Saturday, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Thus, the mentioned official stated that Israel does not rule out any potential targets for destroying Iran's nuclear program, including Khamenei.
The publication emphasizes that the official's comments became further evidence that Israel's attacks against Iran are aimed not only at its nuclear program, but also at weakening the regime politically and militarily.
The Israeli government official stated that as a result of Israeli air strikes, 9 scientists who, according to the Israelis, played a key role in Tehran's nuclear program, as well as a number of high-ranking Iranian generals, have already been killed.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, CNN, citing White House and Israeli officials, says that Israel's operation against Iran will take "weeks, not days." In addition, it is moving forward with the tacit approval of the United States.
In addition, over the past 48 hours, Israel has been asking the administration of US President Donald Trump to join the war with Iran to eliminate its nuclear program.
As a reminder, on the night of June 13, the Israeli army struck Iran.
Iran launched a missile attack on Israel in response to the shelling that took place during the day. On the evening of June 13, Iran launched two salvos of surface-to-surface missiles at Israel, hitting less than 100 targets in total. Most were intercepted by air defense systems.
