Netanyahu Hints at Khamenei as Possible Target: “No One Is Immune”

Things are heating up in the Middle East — fast. In a dramatic turn of events, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes across Tehran and other parts of Iran early Thursday morning, setting off air defense systems in the Iranian capital and triggering fresh fears of escalation. One of the key targets? Iran’s Arak nuclear complex, which Israel warned locals to evacuate just before the strike.

Meanwhile, many are watching Washington. President Donald Trump reportedly gave a thumbs-up to military plans that would involve sending B-2 stealth bombers to drop 30,000-pound bunker-busters on Iran’s nuclear sites. But here’s the twist: while the plan is ready, he hasn’t actually given the final go-ahead yet.

According to insiders, Trump’s holding out hope that the looming threat might force Iran to back down — but he’s made it clear his patience is gone. “It’s already run out,” he told reporters, referencing the 60 days he claims Iran had to change course.

Back in Iran, state media confirmed the Arak reactor was hit, though officials insisted there was “no radiation danger” and said the site had already been cleared out. Still, the symbolic impact of that strike is massive.

The conflict isn’t one-sided, though. Iran has responded by launching a new barrage of missiles toward Israel. One of the most alarming impacts was a direct hit on Soroka Medical Center, the largest hospital in southern Israel. The blast caused serious damage and injuries, prompting the hospital to beg the public to stay away as emergency crews assess the chaos.

With both sides exchanging fire and the U.S. potentially stepping in, the weekend could bring even more explosive developments — literally. Stay tuned.

Netanyahu Won’t Rule Out Targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t mincing words. Standing outside the bomb-damaged Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, Israel, he delivered a clear and forceful message: Iran’s nuclear threat won’t survive much longer. “By the end of this operation,” he told reporters, “there will be no nuclear threat to Israel, nor will there be a ballistic missile threat.”

It wasn’t just talk. Netanyahu claimed Israel has already “very strongly” damaged Iran’s nuclear program — and when asked if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei could be targeted, he didn’t shy away. “No one is immune,” he said, sending a chilling signal that even top Iranian leadership might not be off-limits.

Netanyahu Praises Trump’s ‘Incredible’ Support as Iran Tensions Soar

Netanyahu also had high praise for his longtime ally, Donald Trump, calling their partnership “incredible” and noting that he speaks with the U.S. president “almost every day.” He applauded Trump’s no-nonsense stance on Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “You don’t string along Donald Trump,” Netanyahu quipped, referring to failed negotiations with Tehran.

While the U.S. hasn’t formally entered the conflict, Netanyahu hinted that Trump is already lending support behind the scenes. “They’re already helping a lot,” he said, keeping specifics vague but the alliance strong.

Across the Atlantic, though, the tone is very different. The UK is urging caution, not confrontation. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on Trump to hold off on military action, warning of a “real risk of escalation.” He’s pushing for diplomacy, not airstrikes.

To make that case in person, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy is heading to Washington for talks with Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Their Thursday night meeting will focus on how to dial down rising tensions in the Middle East before they spiral into full-blown war.

And just in case anyone was wondering — a BBC report confirmed that Israel hasn’t asked the UK for help intercepting Iranian drones or missiles, and the UK hasn’t offered, either.

So, while Netanyahu talks about ending Iran’s nuclear threat for good and Trump watches closely, the UK is playing peacemaker — hoping words will win out over warheads.
