New Delhi: Amid the ongoing tension between Israel and Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has created a stir in global politics by making a very controversial statement. Netanyahu said that if Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is targeted, this step will end this conflict, not escalate it.

Netanyahu's statement has come at a time when the military confrontation between the two countries is at its peak. He claimed that Iran is promoting "forever war" in the region and pushing the world towards nuclear war, reports Dynamite News correspondent.

Will end the conflict

When Netanyahu was asked whether former US President Donald Trump had stopped the plan to target Khamenei in the past because it was feared to spark a large-scale war, Netanyahu clearly said, "It will not escalate the conflict but will end it."

He said that strict steps are necessary to stop Iran's aggression and its nuclear program. “We are doing what is necessary so that this does not lead to confrontation and destruction,” he said.

Iran wants forever war

Netanyahu accused Iran of promoting unrest and 'forever war' in West Asia. He said, "Iran has brought us to the brink of nuclear war." Israel is standing up against these forces and preventing this threat."

Iran's nuclear program gets a setback

Netanyahu claimed that the recent attacks by Israel have pushed Iran's nuclear program back "a very long time." He also said that Israel's aim is not to change the regime in Tehran, but it is possible that the current government may fall.

He described the Iranian regime as "weak" and also added that he is in constant touch with US President Donald Trump.

Waiting for international response

This statement of Netanyahu has raised concerns on the global stage. Analysts believe that targeting Khamenei could trigger a major war in West Asia. The response of the US, Russia, China, and European countries is now considered decisive in this matter.
