The State of Israel, under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, has delivered a direct and devastating strike to the head of the Axis of Evil. Following a brilliantly executed and meticulously planned military operation, Ali Khamenei, the authoritarian ruler of Iran, was eliminated, along with a long list of senior officials within the Iranian regime of repression.

Emergency Session at the Kirya: Directives for the Next Phase

Today (Mon.), in the early morning hours, official photographs were released from an urgent security consultation held at the Prime Minister’s Office in the Kirya complex in Tel Aviv. In the image, Prime Minister Netanyahu is seen alongside Defense Minister Katz, the IDF Chief of Staff, and the Director of the Mossad. The meeting, convened only hours after the dramatic strike, focused on the next stages of the campaign and on consolidating the unprecedented strategic achievement.

In a firm and unequivocal message published on X, Netanyahu made clear that this marks a fundamental shift in the regional order:

"I have just concluded a meeting with the Defense Minister, the Chief of Staff, and the head of the Mossad. I have issued directives for the continuation of the campaign. Yesterday, we eliminated the tyrant Khamenei. Together with him, we eliminated dozens of senior figures in the regime of repression. Our forces are now striking in the heart of Tehran with increasing intensity, and this will intensify even further in the days ahead".

Operation "Lion’s Roar": Justice Delivered

Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed the name of the operation, "Lion’s Roar". In his remarks, Minister Katz underscored Israel’s determination and the operational precision that led to the collapse of the terrorist leadership in Tehran.

"The tyrant Khamenei was neutralized in the opening strike of Operation ‘Lion’s Roar,’ along with additional senior officials within the Iranian terror stronghold", Katz declared. "Those who sought Israel’s destruction have themselves been destroyed. Justice has been done, and the Axis of Evil has suffered a crushing blow. Congratulations to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his leadership and resolve, and to the IDF for its outstanding execution. We will continue to act with full force in defense of the State of Israel".

A Historic Alignment of Forces: Israel and the United States on One Front

One of the central pillars of the campaign’s success, as emphasized by the Prime Minister, is the deep strategic cooperation with the American administration. Netanyahu stressed that Israel is not acting alone in this decisive struggle over the future of the West.

"We are engaged in a campaign in which we are deploying the full strength of the IDF, as never before, to ensure our existence and our future", Netanyahu stated. "But we are also bringing into this campaign the support of the United States, my friend, President Donald Trump, and the United States military. This alignment of forces enables us to accomplish what I have aspired to do for 40 years: to decisively defeat the terrorist regime. I promised, and that promise has been fulfilled".

Alongside the significant military achievements in the heart of Tehran, the State of Israel is enduring painful moments on the home front. Severe strikes in Tel Aviv and Beit Shemesh have exacted a heavy human toll. The Prime Minister addressed the nation’s grief:

"These are painful days. We have lost dear people. My heart goes out to the families, and on behalf of all of you, I extend wishes for a full recovery to the wounded".

Operational Summary:

Primary Objective: Ali Khamenei eliminated in the heart of his stronghold.

Scope of Eliminations: Dozens of senior figures in the Ayatollah regime neutralized.
