The elimination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose death was confirmed today by authorities in Tehran, represents a "turning point" in the war that Israel and the United States have launched against the Islamic Republic, said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, quoted by Agence France-Presse, writes BTA.
"Ali Khamenei led a campaign of destruction against Israel, he was the architect of the entire axis of evil that surrounded us. "His elimination marks a decisive turning point, and we hope it will lead to the result we seek, namely that the Iranian people can overthrow the regime for their own good, for ours, and for the entire world," Katz's office said in a statement.
