Netanyahu says Israel won’t rule out killing Khamenei: It would ‘end the conflict’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wouldn’t rule out targeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in an interview with ABC News.

“Look, we’re doing what we need to do,” says Netanyahu.

“I’m not going to get into the details, but we’ve targeted their top nuclear scientists,” says the prime minister. “It’s basically Hitler’s nuclear team.”

“It’s not going to escalate the conflict, it’s going to end the conflict,” says Netanyahu about plans to take out the Iranian leader.

Netanyahu indicates that he does not take seriously Iranian messages that it is looking to end the fighting and get back to nuclear talks.

“They want to continue to have these fake talks in which they lie, they cheat, they string the US along,” he says. “And, you know, we have very solid intel on that.”

Asked about the isolationist, “America First” wing of Trump’s coalition, “We’re not just fighting our enemy. We’re fighting your enemy. For God’s sake, they chant, ‘death to Israel, death to America.’ We’re simply on their way. And this could reach America soon.”

“It’s a threat to Israel,” he continues, “as I said — to our Arab neighbors; to Europe; to America. They chant ‘Death to America.’ It’s though — ‘This is not your business’? This is not myopia. This is utter blindness.”
