Netanyahu responsible for 'absurd risk' in Iran strategy to assassinate Khamenei, expert says
Iran nuclear expert Avner Vilan praised the Mossad's ability to locate Ahmadinejad, but blamed the circumstances on Netanyahu's desire to go to war with Khamenei's assassination as the goal.
Former senior defense official Avner Vilan criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Iran strategy, calling it an "absurd risk" focused on assassinating Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Speaking on 103FM, Vilan stated, "Full responsibility for this lies with Benjamin Netanyahu, who decided to go to war with Khamenei's assassination as an objective." While acknowledging the Mossad's impressive operational ability to reportedly contact former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Vilan questioned the strategic purpose, arguing the broader plan "did not correspond with reality" and "failed miserably." He noted Ahmadinejad's outsider status might have made him approachable but cautioned that intelligence contact does not equate to full allegiance.
