Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to rule out killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, APA reports citing BBC.
In an interview with US broadcaster ABC News, Netanyahu says any potential plan to assassinate the Iranian leader is "not going to escalate the conflict, it's going to end the conflict".
And, pressed directly on whether Israel would target the supreme leader, Netanyahu replies: "We're doing what we need to do".
"We've targeted their top nuclear scientists," he adds. "We still have work to do on other sites."
The Israeli leader also suggested that his decision to target Iran is done "in the service of mankind" to protect against Iran's alleged nuclear threat.
"Today it's Tel Aviv, tomorrow it's New York," he says. "I understand America first, I don't understand America dead."
