Following a direct Iranian missile strike on the Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva earlier in the day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that “no one is immune” in Iran, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Netanyahu told reporters during a tour of the damaged hospital that Israel will use force if needed and that all options are still open. The premier declared, “No one is immune.” “Every choice is open.”
Netanyahu indicated that hitting Iran’s highest leadership is still a possibility, but he refrained from providing specifics. “It’s best to avoid discussing this in the media,”
Netanyahu, who has generally maintained strategic ambiguity regarding Israel’s intentions regarding prominent Iranian officials, has changed tone with these remarks.
