Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “of a fate similar to Saddam Hussein,” during an assessment this morning with the IDF’s top brass, his office says.

Axar.az reports, citing the Times of Israel, “I warn the Iranian dictator against continuing to commit war crimes and launching missiles at Israeli civilians. He would do well to remember the fate of the dictator in the country neighboring Iran who chose this same path against the State of Israel,” Katz says, referring to Hussein, an Iraqi strongman who was overthrown in 2003 during the US invasion of Iraq and later found hiding in a desert hole and hanged.

Katz references an Israeli strike a day earlier on the Tehran headquarters of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB, saying other extensions of the Iranian civil regime’s rule may also be targeted.

"We will continue today as well to act against regime and military targets in Tehran, just as we did yesterday against the propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority,” he says.

“I urge the residents of Tehran to evacuate those areas in accordance with the IDF Spokesperson’s instructions in Persian, for their own protection,” Katz adds.
