Tue 12 August 2025:
Israel’s defense minister on Monday hit back at a list published by media linked to Iran’s military which named Israeli officials in an assassination list, appearing to threaten Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s life in response.
“I suggest to the Iranian dictator Khamenei that when he leaves the bunker, he occasionally look up at the sky and listen carefully to every buzz,” Katz wrote on X Monday.
“The participants of the ‘red wedding’ are waiting for him there,” he added referring to the codename of an Israeli campaign starting on June 13, 2025, in which a series of coordinated strikes killed several of Iran’s most senior military leaders.
The operation, named after a massacre scene in the Game of Thrones TV series, targeted top figures including Revolutionary Guards commander Hossein Salami, chief of staff of armed forces Mohammad Bagheri, and senior general Gholam Ali Rashid.
איראן מפרסמת את רשימת הבכירים בצמרת המדינית ביטחונית בישראל המיועדים לחיסול.
אני מציע לדיקטטור האיראני חמינאי שכשהוא יוצא מהבונקר שירים מידי פעם מבט לשמיים ויקשיב טוב לכל זמזום.

Katz’s warning followed the release of an assassination list by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated Telegram channel Saberin News amid continued tensions between Israel and Iran despite a US brokered ceasefire on June 24 which ended the 12-day conflict.

Last week, the new intelligence chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Tehran views the ceasefire with Israel as merely a pause to an ongoing war, as Iran’s security establishment doubled down on confrontational rhetoric toward its arch-nemesis.
