The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said that there are indications that Iranian leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, is dead.
Netanyahu spoke in a televised address on Saturday evening saying that Israel’s military campaign in Iran will go on “as long as it is needed”, adding that the conflict will bring about “true peace”.
According to the Israeli leader, everyone knows that “such a murderous regime” should not have nuclear weapons that can “continue threatening the entire humankind”.

“We would like to thank the brave Iranian people, that they are being freed of those horrific ties with that regime,” he said.
He said that “Signs show that Khameini is no longer with us,” adding that airstrikes have destroyed Khameini’s compound.
“All indications show this tyrant is no longer with us,” he said.
This contradicts reports from the Iranian foreign ministry earlier claiming that the supreme leader and Iran’s president were both “safe and sound”.
Addressing the Iranian people, who he described as ‘courageous’, Netanyahu said the strikes will help them “unshackle themselves from tyranny”.

He said that Iranian people have a “once in a generation chance” to overthrow the Iranian regime, he said
He urged them to “take to the streets en masse” and “get the job done”.
It is “high time you came together” and “unite for a historic mission”, he said.
“This is an opportunity to do something. Do not sit with your arms crossed, because this moment will come and you will be demanded to go out of the streets in the masses, because you have to complete this work, and you have to bring down and eradicate this regime.”
Netanyahu said they managed to target senior members of Iran’s nuclear operation as well as senior officials.
