Jerusalem, 1 March, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said “justice was done” with the assassination of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khameini.
“The tyrant Khamenei was thwarted in the opening blow of Operation ‘Roar of the Lion’ and with him other senior figures in the Iranian terrorist stronghold,” Katz tweeted.
“Those who worked to destroy Israel – were destroyed. Justice was done and the axis of evil suffered a fatal blow.”
Israel and the U.S. confirmed Khameini’s death on Saturday night.
