[Former top Israeli military officials said killing Khamenei was a mistake] October 10th, at a recent political seminar in Israel, former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Yair Golan said that Israel’s killing of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “was a mistake and was not in Israel’s interests.” Golan said that there was originally a certain strategic balance in the face of a senior and old tough leader, but after eliminating a large number of core "number one figures", what took over was a more extreme and violent camp. He believes that from the perspective of long-term strategic goals, Israel's situation has deteriorated and the Netanyahu government's attempt to overthrow the Iranian regime has failed. The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. Khamenei and many senior Iranian political and military officials were killed in the attack. In response, Iran has attacked targets in Israel and multiple U.S. military bases in the Middle East. (CCTV International News)
