Israel’s armed forces declared on March 8th that they will target anyone chosen to replace Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following his death in combined American and Israeli military operations against Iran.
Using the social media platform X, Israeli military officials posted a message in the Persian language threatening to hunt down not only future supreme leaders but also members of Iran’s religious council tasked with selecting Khamenei’s replacement.
The threatening statement arrives at a crucial moment as Iran’s clerical leadership prepares to convene and select the Islamic Republic’s new supreme leader.
