An Israeli official said that the assassination of Khamenei "is not taboo" for the Israeli state and is being considered as a potential scenario in the event of Iran's further progress towards creating nuclear weapons.
The official stressed that the war between Israel and Iran will continue until Tehran abandons its nuclear program or until Israel deprives it of this opportunity once and for all.
Political observer of the Israeli TV channel Channel 12 Amit Segal, citing a source in the government, noted that the decision on the possible elimination of Khamenei will depend on a number of factors, including security assessments and the geopolitical situation.
