Iran published on Monday an assassination list targeting senior Israeli political and security officials. Defense Minister Israel Katz responded on X with a direct threat to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, warning the dictator to watch the skies when leaving his bunker. "Iran publishes its list of senior political and security officials in Israel designated for elimination. I suggest to the Iranian dictator Khamenei that when he leaves his bunker, he should occasionally look up at the sky and listen carefully to any buzzing.

The defense minister's social media post represented the latest escalation in threats exchanged between Israeli leadership and the Iranian regime. Katz has repeatedly warned Khamenei of potential targeted operations against Iranian leadership.
During a July 27 visit to Ramon Air Force Base, Katz delivered a stark warning to the Iranian supreme leader about continued threats against Israel. "I want to convey a clear message from here to the dictator Khamenei that if you continue to threaten Israel, our long arm will reach Tehran again and with even greater force – and this time to you personally," the defense minister stated during the base visit.
