Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Wednesday that the military has been authorized to target any senior Iranian officials without requiring additional approval. Katz stated that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have granted the Israel Defense Forces permission to eliminate Iranian officials once intelligence and operational preparations are complete. He added that Israel will continue to locate and eliminate such figures.
Katz claimed that Iran’s intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, was killed in an airstrike the previous night, though Iran has not confirmed his death. He also suggested that further operations could occur in Lebanon in the coming days, emphasizing that the conflict will continue on both the Iranian and Hezbollah fronts. Earlier, Israel claimed responsibility for airstrikes in Tehran that killed Ali Larijani, his son, and Basij chief General Gholamreza Soleimani, deaths later confirmed by Iran.
Turkey condemned Israel’s targeted killings of Iranian leaders, with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan calling them illegal acts beyond the laws of war, according to AFP and Al Jazeera reports.
