The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would "end the conflict" between Israel and Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today in an interview with American television station ABC.
"That would not lead to an escalation of the conflict, that would lead to an end to the conflict," Netanyahu said, responding to a reporter's question about US President Donald Trump's opposition to an Israeli plan aimed at eliminating Iran's supreme leader.
When asked if Israel would specifically target Khamenei, the Israeli prime minister said his country was "doing what it has to do."
The Iran-Israeli conflict has entered its fourth day and there are no signs of calming down.
