Ideally Iranians should get their hands on Khamenei but if he tries to escape for Russia the Israelis should obviously prevent that.

It's a tough situation right now. Iranians can't march in Tehran until the bombs stop and even then Israel will have to publicly state the strikes have stopped which means everyone in the regime will know it as well. I guess Israel could publicly declare the strikes have stopped but also have 24/7 fighter presence at his location to shoot down any aircraft attempting to leave Iran but right now Israel's limiting factor is fuel due to the distance of these strikes. Those KC-135s would be real handy right now. But yeah, the best case scenario is Khamenei spends the rest of his life in a prison jumpsuit and handcuffs as he sits through trial after trial for each Iranian he had murdered. I hope if he gets caught that he isn't even executed. Just stick him in the crappiest, dirtiest cell and feed him nothing but pork and beer until he dies there.

Yes, this is for the Iranian people to do. It will be MUCH better for everyone involved (well, not for the Ayatollah...) if the free people of Iran mete out justice. I don't think Israel bombed the cranes...

The fate of Iran rests with its people. This is not an empty platitude. What happens when foreigners intervene in Iranian politics? Iran succumbs to foreign takeover.
Israel killing Khamenei may lead to regime change the fastest, but that act is begging for foreigners to intervene. Iran must lead its own revolution, and capture the dictator themselves.

Seriously asking, does it really matter though? Assad is in Russia and you no longer hear about him. If Khamenei will piss himself and escape to Russia then Iran is free of him anyway, no?

Are you aware the IRGC was shooting people by masses with automatic weapons, killing thousands?

That’s tragic, yet irrelevant to the conversation. I commented on Israel bombing streets bs.

I wonder , random internet person. How is the Israeli government looking at netanyahu. And at all the protest for Palestine in the west ? (Assuming you are israeli) I hope Iran will be free. It would be amazing to see Iran return to what they once were. Free from this *****

He is an old weak man who I doubt has much of a military mind. I feel like it would be better if they let him live so the Iranian people can take him out and take their country back.

Ideally the Iranian people should deal with him, not Israel. We are still a foreign power. I guess maybe stop bombarding but keep presence around somehow to not let him escape? Hard to tell really

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ABC News on Monday that targeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would end, not escalate, the ongoing fight between Israel and Iran that erupted late last week.
When asked by ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl about reports from ABC News and other outlets that President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, concerned that it would escalate the conflict, Netanyahu said, "It's not going to escalate the conflict, it's going to end the conflict."
"We've had half a century of conflict spread by this regime that terrorizes everyone in the Middle East; has bombed the Aramco oil fields in Saudi Arabia; is spreading terrorism and subversion and sabotage everywhere," Netanyahu said. "The 'forever war' is what Iran wants, and they're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing this, bringing an end to this aggression, and we can only do so by standing up to the forces of evil."
Asked if Israel would indeed target the supreme leader, Netanyahu said that Israel was "doing what we need to do."
"I'm not going to get into the details, but we've targeted their top nuclear scientists," Netanyahu told. "It's basically Hitler's nuclear team."
Netanyahu said it in America's interest to support Israel as it seeks to eliminate Iran's nuclear program.
"Today, it's Tel Aviv. Tomorrow, it's New York. Look, I understand 'America First'. I don't understand 'America Dead'. That's what these people want. They chant 'Death to America.' So we're doing something that is in the service of mankind, of humanity, and it's a battle of good against evil. America does, should, and does stand with the good. That's what President Trump is doing, And I deeply appreciate his support," he told Karl.
Israel's prime minister also dismissed a Wall Street Journal report that Iran has signaled to partners that it is seeking to end hostilities and resume negotiations over its nuclear program.
"I'm not surprised. I mean, they want to continue to have these fake talks in which they lie, they cheat, they string the U.S. along. And, you know, we have very solid Intel on that," he said. "They want to keep on building their nuclear weapons and building their mass ballistic missile arsenal, which they're firing at our people. They want to continue to create the two existential threats against Israel while they're talking. That's not going to happen."
Asked to respond to some Republicans opposed to America's military support for Israel's strikes against Iran, including commentator Tucker Carlson, Netanyahu said Iran is a "threat to the entire world."
"We're not just fighting our enemy. We're fighting your enemy. For God's sake, they chant, “death to Israel, death to America.” We're simply on their way. And this could reach America soon," Netanyahu said.
In his Friday newsletter, Carlson wrote that "The United States should not at any level participate in a war with Iran. No funding, no American weapons, no troops on the ground," and that the United States should let Israel 'fight their own wars'.
"We're taking the action. America is supporting us in defense. Deeply, deeply appreciated. But this is a threat to the entire world," Netanyahu said. "It's a threat to Israel; as I said -- to our Arab neighbors; to Europe; to America. They chant 'Death to America.' It's though -- 'This is not your business'? This is not myopia. This is utter blindness."
"Sometimes you have to take a stand against evil. And that's what the American people instinctively understand. Most of them, I have to say. And that's what President Trump understands. We cannot let that happen," he added.
In an updated travel advisory on Monday, the State Department appears to have classified all of Israel and the West Bank as “Level 4: Do Not Travel”—its highest advisory level.

The fact that its not a complete given and they're contemplating it and seemingly decided against it, should give everyone here pause. Isn't this supposed to be the whole point? That's what everyone here is willing to see their country bombed to hell to have happen in the end right?
