Why the U.S. and Israel Consider Assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader?

According to Saed News, Basirat website, affiliated with the Political Department of Iran’s IRGC, published an editorial analyzing why the enemy emphasizes the assassination of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

The note stated:
Examining America’s motives in pursuing the assassination of Iran’s leader requires a multi-dimensional analysis of political, security, and strategic factors. The main reasons why Americans emphasize assassinating the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution are as follows:

• Targeting the main driver of Israel’s collapse: The Zionists have repeatedly described Iran as an “existential threat” and proposed plans for assassinating Iranian leaders. The assassination of the Supreme Leader, as the engine of Iran’s regional power and the one who insists on the downfall of the Zionist regime (its non-existence within the next 25 years), serves this purpose.

• Seeking to create domestic instability in Iran: The Americans intended that by assassinating the Supreme Leader, the top management of the system and, consequently, its pillars would be weakened. For example, in the recent attack on Iran, the Zionists pursued three goals: assassinating military commanders, intensifying domestic unrest, and assassinating the Leader.

In conclusion, Americans and Zionists, due to their failures at the beginning of the 12-day war and the strategic consequences of this war across the region, turned to the policy of assassinating the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution. From their perspective, the main reason behind the failure of U.S. and Israeli projects in the region—and even inside Iran—is the person of the Supreme Leader.
