In a revealing interview, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz openly admitted that Israel sought to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during the recent 12-day war but failed to find an operational opportunity. Katz’s blunt declaration, “If he had been in our sights, we would have taken him out,” exposes the aggressive and violent intentions of the Zionist regime against a sovereign nation.

Katz further emphasized Israel’s unilateral approach, stating, “We don’t need permission for these things,” underscoring the reckless disregard for international law and sovereignty that characterizes Israeli and U.S. imperialism.

Contrary to Israeli boasts, Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei declared that Israel was “crushed” and “almost collapsed” under Iran’s retaliatory strikes. In a powerful message posted on social media, Khamenei proclaimed that the Zionist regime “was destroyed” and that the Iranian people’s resistance delivered a historic blow to Israeli ambitions.

The 12-day conflict resulted in significant casualties on both sides, but the Iranian people’s resilience and unity stood firm against imperialist aggression.Iranians, including civilians and senior military commanders, were killed in Israeli strikes, yet the spirit of resistance remains unbroken.

Khamenei highlighted the role of the United States in the conflict, stating Washington intervened to prevent the complete annihilation of the Zionist regime. However, he asserted that the U.S. did not achieve its objectives and instead suffered “a strong blow” from the Iranian resistance. This reflects the broader geopolitical struggle where imperialist powers seek to dominate the Middle East, often at the expense of regional sovereignty and peace.

The Trump administration’s policies, including support for Israel’s military operations and refusal to respect Iran’s sovereignty, epitomize the aggressive imperialist agenda that fuels conflict and instability in the region.

As the dust settles, the message is clear: imperialist aggression will be met with fierce resistance, and the struggle for justice, sovereignty, and peace continues. The victory of the Iranian people is a beacon of hope for all who oppose the forces of oppression and domination.

With all that commotion and all those claims, the Zionist regime was practically knocked out and crushed under the blows of the Islamic Republic.
